Crabbing up the City: RUMblers bring Ubin mangroves to Shenton Way

RUMblers had fun at the Singapore Eco Film Festival! Sharing with city folk in Ubin style!

R.U.M. was also at the Clean and Green Singapore event. Here's more about our outreach in the city.

Singapore Eco Film Festival

Thanks to the kind invitation of SGEFF, we had an opportunity to reach out about Ubin mangroves at the amazing Arts Science Museum in the heart of the city. R.U.M.'s origami mangrove critter activity was a hit with the kids and the young-at-heart.

As they fold the animals, participants learn more about the mangrove ecosystem. Thanks to Lisa for gathering the RUMblers for this fun and educational activity.

Just follow the trail of crabs to find the R.U.M. booth!

Meanwhile, mangrove specimens plus the R.U.M. banners help us explain what we are trying to do.

The R.U.M. colouring sheet was also popular even among adults!

Making a come-back was the awesome Mangrove Photo Booth, first created by Clare Yong and Siewying Shee for Pesta Ubin. It was a big hit. Some of our favourites include fellow nature lovers Nature Society (Singapore) and Cicada Tree Eco Place.

Of course the RUMblers can't resist the Photo Booth! Thank you to all the volunteers who helped out on Saturday.

Special thanks to Mohammad Juhari who looked after the R.U.M. booth from Thursday to Sunday! And taking lots and lots of gorgeous photos.

Earlier in the month, thanks to Nor Lastrina Hamid and Ho Xiang Tian for featuring R.U.M. at their #LepakinSG and SYAC Booth. What a great way to reach out to heartlanders about Pulau Ubin and our mangroves!
