How To Vermi Compost

Earth Worm Maze and Giant Games
Both kids and adults will have a blast playing all kinds of fun, interactive games that'll keep you occupied for hours.

If you're wondering why there's eco-friendly activities, it's because Gamuda Land wants to promote green initiatives through hosting X-Kitement and a Brown Awareness campaign

This will be a collaboration between twentyfive.7 and Gamuda Parks.

X-Kitement is a 3D kite flying festival to educate the public on ecosystem management as one of the integral parts in Gamuda Parks Biodiversity Policy.

Inspired by green initiatives, the Brown Awareness campaign aims to highlight the importance of valuable natural resources in the surrounding environment. This includes improving awareness of composting and how it helps the environment.

These programs will take the Quayside Fiesta series to the next level by providing various experiential eco-friendly activities for both parents and kids to learn about sustainability.

Through these initiatives, the youths of Malaysia are set on a meaningful path towards improving the environment and to have a life-long positive impact on the younger generation, their families, as well as the general public.
