The Green Mark for Parks scheme aims to promote and recognize environmentally friendly and sustainable practices and features in our parks. It also seeks to raise public awareness of such green parks and doing so, encourage greater community involvement. Under this scheme, parks have to meet extensive and stringent guidelines covering 3 main indicators – Environmental, Social and Economic Sustainability.

Centre for Urban Greenery and Ecology of NParks is proud to present a three-day workshop entitled Green Mark for Parks Assessor Programme. It is an intensive programme to prepare participants to be assessors for the Green Mark for Parks Certification Programme administered by Building & Construction Authority (BCA) and National Parks Board.
