Our long time supporter and rainforest expert David Neidel has helped us
tremendously for over five years on a lot of different areas of the project. David helped create the partnerships required to start a research project between
both campuses, Singapore Botanic Gardens and Yale-NUS which was one of the most interesting undertakings
this project has done and allowed us to learn the rigours of data collection and a lot more of the botanic science required for our work.
We would like to thank David Neidel
especially for all of his amazing contributions to this project and helping to
engage the student body through his informative presentations that were
centered around reforestation techniques and the different factors that influence
reforestation. David also helped us start our flourishing East campus nursery and contributed seeds and seedlings to project collected on his journeys in the region and Singapore. One of David's A Macaranga seedlings has just been planted at Dover Campus.
Due to his son graduating from East
campus, David Neidel will be leaving Singapore for California. He will also be spending a lot of his time in the Philippines where he is set on
continuing his restoration work. We look forward to when he comes back to visit and catching up.
The Rainforest Restoration Project
wishes David and his family all the best!
