Majestic mature trees are the natural heritage of Singapore and serve as important green landmarks of our Tropical Garden City. They help identity with and stay rooted to the place we live in. Like our Garden City, these trees take decades to mature gracefully and beautify our landscape.
As Singapore progresses, there is a danger of losing these mature trees. In view of this concern, the Heritage Trees Scheme was announced in 17 Aug 2001 with the objective of promoting conservation of our mature trees to the community.
In support of this initiative, a Heritage Trees Fund has also been established by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (HSBC), with an initial donation of $125,000. The Fund will be used to kick start a conservation programme to safeguard our Heritage Trees and to promote appreciation of our natural heritage. Some of these programme initiatives include installation of lightning conductors, interpretive signage, and putting in place a nomination scheme for the community.
