** TAMPINES ECO-GREEN HIKE & FIREFLIES SPOOKY TOUR! **
**FULLY BOOKED!**
Hi members, yes nature is thriving! So let's revisit some of those green places that we've not done for quite awhile.
**Tampines Eco Green** is a beautiful hidden eco-friendly park that offers a sanctuary for flora and fauna and a place for nature recreation. It's a paradise for birds to build their nests and you'll get to see the butterflies, dragonflies as well as squirrels roaming around freely in this natural park.
With various natural habitats such as open grasslands, freshwater wetlands and a secondary rainforest, the park is a haven for biodiversity and a great place for visitors to enjoy the best of nature.
Hiking trails within the park and a chance to walk barefoot during sunset on lovely carpet grass allows nature lovers to discover an array of flora and fauna and experience nature in all its glory.
From Tampines Mrt to Pasir Ris mangroves, rivers and parks, our nature lover TLC members will have a chance to enjoy the peace and serenity of the Eco Green Park with its un-spoilt marshlands, flora, fauna as well as listening to the chirping sounds of the beautiful birds that make this untouched natural park their home.
Our evening stroll also brings us through the scenic rivers and mangroves along Sungei Tampines and the mangroves where you'll get to see ***herons, egrets, kingfishers etc.*** hunting for fishes along the riverbank.
You'll also see the **2 rare cotton trees** where you'll have the chance to collect and bring home the cotton to fill your pillows if you like. :)
Thereafter let's enjoy the breeze and sunset at Pasir Ris Beach where we may get to catch a glimpse of the elusive owl before .... prepare for this huh ... heading to the **Spooky Haunted Tower** and mangroves for our fireflies tour (subject to weather conditions).
End point is at **Pasir Ris Hawker Centre** to have our dinner/ drinks with our new-found friends. This Food Court is near Pasir Ris MRT Station/ White Sands Mall.
*Note: Fireflies sightings not guaranteed as it depends on weather and other ideal conditions. High chances after a heavy thunderstorm.*

Krav Maga Group Class (Adults & Teens, All Levels)
**For ages 13 and above.**
IKMF Krav Maga training helps you defend yourself effectively on the streets.
Below are just some of the reasons why Krav Maga classes at IKMF Singapore will benefit you.
1\. There are no rules in street attacks\, so imagine what we will do to the attacker\.
2\. No one wants to get in a fight\, so prevention & de\-escalation will be taught too\.
3\. You're lucky if there's just 1 attacker out in the streets\. To better prepare yourself\, we train with the mindset of potentially facing multiple attackers\.
4\. Did I mention weapons? Who says attackers can't possess knives/sticks/guns?

The Flock Outdoor Series | Earth Day Scavenger
**When:** Saturday, April 25, 2026
**Time:** 4.30pm - 6.30pm
**Location:** Revealed 24 hours before actual gathering
Trade your screen for the green this Earth Day. 🌿 One of the best and easiest way of celebrating Earth Day is actually just going outdoors and exploring nature. The golden rule? Take only pictures, leave only footprints.
**The Vibe:** Don’t worry — this isn’t a serious scavenger hunt. The only real scavenging will be discovering a little more about your flock along the way. It is a low-impact, walk-and-talk experience. We keep our groups small to ensure everyone actually gets to talk.
**How to secure your spot:**
1. Purchase your spot as a [Seeker](https://www.flock.asia/products/the-flock-active-series-its-earth-day) (one-time) or [Flocker](https://www.flock.asia/products/become-a-flocker) (member).
2. Vibe Check: Complete the [Vibe Check quiz ](https://tally.so/r/mOpDd8)so Mother Hen can match you to the right Flock.
3. Connect: Follow us on Telegram **@flocksg** for latest gathering updates.
**💡 Important Note for Flockers (Members):** Even with a membership, you **must** still "purchase" a ticket on our website for each specific gathering. This allows us to register your spot and curate the group. As a member, your ticket price will automatically reflect as **$0.00 at checkout** once you are logged in.
**READY TO FIND YOUR FLOCK?**
See our full gathering calendar [here](https://www.flock.asia/collections/upcoming-gatherings).
*Note: RSVPing on Meetup does NOT secure your spot. Seats are only confirmed once payment and the Vibe Check are completed via our website.*
