Part 14/16:
For many residents, trees like Angsanas are more than just greenery—they are woven into personal histories and cultural memories. From childhood play under their canopy to family outings, these trees symbolize resilience and nostalgia.
The speaker recounts childhood memories of family visits to McDonald’s under Angsana trees near Vities towers, capturing the deep emotional connection entwined with Singapore’s urban flora. These memories reinforce the importance of protecting and restoring tree populations, not only for ecological reasons but for cultural heritage.
