The Keppel Coastal Trail is a walking trail in Labrador Nature Park, Singapore. Developed in partnership with Keppel Corporation, the trail spans 340 meters and includes a rustic path and a wheelchair-accessible elevated boardwalk.[1][2]
Features
[edit]The trail provides sea views and passes through a restored coastal beach forest habitat. This habitat hosts around 100 species of trees and shrubs, including critically endangered species. Interpretive signages along the trail offer information about the area's biodiversity.[3]
Elevated Boardwalk
[edit]The 90-meter elevated boardwalk at the Keppel Coastal Trail is wheelchair accessible with barrier-free ramps, allowing it to accommodate rising sea levels. It offers vantage points for observing wildlife and the coastal habitat.[4] The boardwalk is built using sustainable materials, aiming to minimize environmental impact while ensuring durability and safety.[1]
Flora and Fauna
[edit]The trail features a variety of plant and animal species. Notable plant species include the critically endangered Barringtonia asiatica and Ceriops tagal. Visitors can observe wildlife such as birds, insects, and small mammals. Interpretive signages assist visitors in identifying species.[5][6]
Coastal Protection
[edit]The trail supports coastal protection by restoring the beach forest habitat, which helps stabilize the shoreline and prevent erosion. The vegetation acts as a barrier, protecting the coastline from waves and storms. Native plant species promote biodiversity and ecosystem health.[1]
Connectivity
[edit]The Keppel Coastal Trail is part of the Southern Ridges, a network of trails linking parks and nature reserves in Singapore.[1] The Southern Ridges include destinations such as Kent Ridge Park, HortPark, and Mount Faber Park.[6]
Access
[edit]The trail is open to the public and accessible from Labrador Nature Park, which features remnants of Singapore's coastal fortifications and various habitats. The nearest MRT station is Labrador Park MRT on the Circle Line. Parking is available for those who prefer to drive.[6]
Conservation Efforts
[edit]The development and maintenance of the Keppel Coastal Trail are part of broader conservation efforts by the National Parks Board (NParks) and its partners. These efforts aim to protect and restore Singapore's natural habitats and promote biodiversity.[1] The trail serves as an educational resource, highlighting the importance of conserving coastal ecosystems and their role in supporting biodiversity and mitigating climate change. NParks collaborates with volunteers, local communities, and organizations to ensure the success of conservation initiatives.[6]
