9th September 2015-Our friendship with Dimension Data (Malaysia) goes back more than 10 years ago when it was then known as Datacraft. Almost every year they would come up to Cameron Highlands to do an environmental programme with us, either reforestation or CSI Community Stream Investigations . This year it was the latter. On the 23 rd of August 2015 , 30 participants from Dimension Data joined us at Sg Pauh Forest Reserve. It started off as usual with a briefing by Miss Melody Woon , followed by stream analysis in Sungai Bertam just opposite the All Souls Church.
Wading into a dirty river is not everyone’s cup of tea and even some volunteers hesitate as it can be quite “yucky”. But this group of young people from the city had no qualms and took it in their stride. Fortunately the river was not in its trade mark ” teh tarik colour” and Dr Liau was quite pleased that it has more signs of life now as compared to a few months ago. ie dragonfly larvae , leechfly larvae and a few other water insect babies can be seen.
The macroinvertebrates found were then taken out to be identified.
Then the group adjourned to Sg Pauh which is a mountain stream. The participants did not need much persuasion to wade in. It is actually very pleasant and downright delicious to feel cool waters running in between your toes and finding a crab beneath the stones is icing on the cake.
Again the water creatures were taken out to be identified and later released back into the stream.
Everyone then adjourned to the picnic area at Sg Pauh Forest reserve and findings were summarised and presented.
Lunch was then served 
And it was great fun for everyone , bosses included!
We will see you again next year.
