KOTA KINABALU: A Peltophorum pterocarpum tree, commonly known as copperpod or yellow flame tree, has been tagged with a QR code along the Sandakan Heritage Trail , marking the start of an initiative to highlight the natural heritage on this popular route.
Lai King Hang, founder of the Sandakan Heritage Trail, stated the project was conceived by Walter Kenson, president of the Sandakan Municipal Council , to enhance the trail's value as it gains popularity among local and international visitors. "Heritage is not just about buildings and monuments; it includes the natural environment that has stood the test of time. By tagging these trees, we are not only documenting history but also fostering a greater appreciation for Sandakan’s urban greenery," Lai said.
The event saw 102 participants, including foreign tourists, exploring Sandakan’s historical sites and learning about its natural and cultural heritage. Throughout the walk, Dr Chung and Dr Pereira discussed the importance of the trees in Sandakan’s landscape. Participants visited key landmarks, such as Agnes Keith House, St. Michael’s and All Angels Church, and the Sam Sing Kung Temple.
