Editor's Note

The school break is here again, and it’s a good time to learn more about our City in Nature! The best part is that you can do it from the comfort of home. Try bird-watching from your window, identifying different brown birds that may be commonly found in neighbourhoods, or find out more about lovely plants that look like and are named after the watermelon.

June is also a great time to spend more time with loved ones, including your four-legged ones! Feel that your pet dog can behave better? Make that happen, using a science-based technique to teach it in a pain-free way.

To learn more about the flora, fauna and our furry friends, or get ideas for fun activities to do at home, read on at our NParks Buzz microsite, or tune in to our NParksSG YouTube channel. For the social ones, check out our latest TikTok! In the current COVID-19 climate, hope you have fun as you stay home and stay safe.
