2.2 Size Of Location
The original size of the reserve was 17.5 hectares, but development projects, including that
of the KL Tower has shrunk the size its present 9.37 hectares.

2.3 Establishment
Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve was originally known as Weld Hill Forest Reserve which was
gazette around 1900 and the name has changed to Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve (BNFR) in year
of 1930. It was gazette as a lowland dipterocarp forest under section 8, 1903 Land Enacment
and was operational on August 28, 1906. In 1934, this forest was gazette as wildlife and bird
sanctuary under section7 (1), Bird and Wildlife Protection Enacment, 1925. More over, in 1950
Forest Department Peninsular Malaysia, established Virgin Jungle Reserve on this area for
purposes of researches and experiments

2.4 Physical Area

Located right in the corner of the city of Kuala Lumpur, between Jalan Ampang and Jalan
Raja Chulan, it has been developed with some infrastructures, such as camping sites, recreation
and rest area and functions as an amenity forest. It boarders that Sekolah Menengah Jenis
Kebangsaan Convent and Kuala Lumpur Tower other than the main city roads and streets. Its
landform consists of low hillock with some intermediate gradients of 58-94 m above sea level
and the slopes of about 40-55 degrees.

Bukit Nanas is one among the three areas of forest reserves in the Federal Territory. The
other two are Bukit Sungei Besi and Sungei Puteh Forest Reserve, but only Bukit Nanas is a
recreational forest. The reserve was formed officially on July 29 th 1970 by the Selangor Council
of Government Meeting.

2.5 History of Area

Between 1867 and 1874, a war broke out between Raja Mahadi bin Raja Sulaiman and
Raja Abdullah bin Raja Jaafar over the issues of tax collection in Klang. Before the conflict
become a war, Tengku Kudin, the prince of Kedah who married the princess of Selangor, was
appointed as the peacemaker by the Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Abdul Samad Raja Mahadi,
however refused Tengku Kudin’s aid, and consequently Tengku Kudin took side with Raja

8
Abdullah, until the latter died of natural cause. As a new leader, Tengku Kudin sought help
from the British, and mercenaries from Pahang and Kedah, and Chinese clan led by Kapitan
Yap Ah Loy. Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve was one the many battlegrounds during the civil war.
There was a fortress up on the hill belived to be build by Raja Asal planted pineapple tress
around the fortress to deter enemies. At that time, solders were barefooted in the end, Raja
Mahadi was defeated in 1874, thus, ending the war. To commemorate the war, the locals called
this hill as Bukit Nanas.

The BNFR serves the purpose of recreation forest due to three main reasons, it is the only
virgin tropical lowland rainforest that still remain intact in the centre of a metropolitan city, it
is rich in fauna and flora, and it is the oldest forest reserve in the country. Perhaps there is no
other city in the world that can boast having a virgin tropical rainforest in its midst.
Additionally, the KL Tower, which is the 15 th tallest telecommunication tower in the world
(421 m) was build on the hill in 1996. It is the one of the most prominent landmarks in Kuala
Lumpur. It has the best aerial view in the city from the observation deck at 276 m, a banquet
floor and a revolving restaurant. During the construction of the tower, a 100-year old Jelutong
tree (Dyera costulata) was preserved by building a retaining wall around the tree at the cost
of RM430,000.00.

3.0 THE MANAGEMENT OF PARK
This forest park is managed by the Foresty Department Peninsular Malaysia while the department
is one of the Departments Under Minister Of Water, Land, And Natural Resources, Malaysia. There are
11 state forestry department and 33 district forest offices located throughout the peninsular. The department
is headed by the Director-General of forestry and assisted by two Deputy Director generals.

The Forestry Department Peninsular is responsible for the management, planning, protection and
development of permanent reserved forest ( PRF) in accordance with the National Forestry Policy (NFP)
1992 and the national forestry act (NFA) 1984.

Although Kuala Lumpur Forest Eco Park is one of the oldest permanent forest reserves in Malaysia
it now boasts one of Kuala Lumpur’s latest attractions, an impressive 200m canopy walk, providing visitors
with a wonderful aerial view of the treetops and the city beyond. Previously known as Bukit Nanas Forest
Reserve, this park is the only remaining stretch of tropical rainforest within the city limits of Kuala
Lumpur. It was gazetted as a permanent forest reserve in 1906 and at that time it had an area of 17.5
hectares. Urban development, including construction of the KL Tower in the 1990’s, has nibbled away at
the reserve over the years and now only 9 hectares remains.

Following a minor landslide in May 2014, slope stabilization repairs have been carried out along
the Jalan Ampang edge of the park which has unfortunately necessitated the chopping down of some mature
trees. Nine hectares is still a good size and the park contains some fine specimens of lowland dipterocarp
and non-dipterocarp trees including some endangered and threatened species such as Kapur (camphor)
and Karas (source of agar wood). As well as bringing some fresh air to the city centre, the park is a refuge
for bird life and wildlife, mostly monkeys and small mammals.

There are three main entrances to the park. First, from Jalan Ampang close to Bukit Nanas monorail
station. Steps into the park start behind the Malaysian Timber Product Gallery. Dang Wangi LRT station is
a short walk from this entrance. Second, from Jalan Raja Chulan, more of less opposite to St. Andrew’s
Church. Third, from steps near the foot of Kuala Lumpur Tower itself

5.0 FACILITIES AND SPECIAL FEATURES

5.1 Facilities
As the only remaining rain forest in the city of Kuala Lumpur, BNFR is the ‘Green Lung’
of Kuala Lumpur by purifying the air of its dust and toxic pollutants (Latiff 2010). It enables the
general public to experience, explore and enjoy the beauty of nature. It is home to a rich variety
of flora that flourishes within the forest including shrubs, trees, herbs, ferns, climbers, palms,
bamboos and other indigenous plants. It is also refuge for fauna. As a recreation forest for the
public, several nature trails accessible to visitors run through the forest. Facilities for visitors inside
the forest include the Forest Information Centre, bird watching area, canopy walk, playground,
exercise stations, picnic benches and access to the KL Tower.

i. Surau
There is a surau facilities on jelutong trails but unfortunately the
surau is closed for maintainence. The condition of surau is pretty
bad with broken windows on the inside.

Figure 1 shows Surau near Jelutong Trails

18
 ii. Toilet
Only one toilet are provided in KL Forest Park. The toilet located
near the main entrance near KL Tower. Toilet condition still in a
good shape.

Figure 2 shows toilet in KL Forest Park

iii. Trails
There are several trails that run through the forest reserve, which if seen
from the air, is mainly limited to the one side of the hill, with the central portion
or highest point taken up by the KL Tower. The official entrance is located near
Jalan Raja Chulan, but the easiest way to get to the forest is by taking the Rapid
KL LRT and disembarking at the Dang Wangi LRT Station.

The first trail you can see branches off from this footpath, with its name
clearly signposted – Jelutong Trail. This looping trail skirts the side of the reserve
and the lower half of it is currently overgrown. However, the top half of the trail is
still fine, and takes you past some large trees. Most of them are labeled with some
information about them on wooden plaques mounted on pedestals. It soon becomes
obvious why the trail is so named; jelutong (Dyera costulata) trees are obvious
along the trail, and you will pass a huge jelutong tree if you continue along to the
end (or start, if coming from the other direction) of the trail. The Jelutong Trail
allows you to cross onto the Bamboo Walk, a tiled pavement with huge bamboo
clumps growing on the sides.

19
 Figure 3 shows Jelutong Trails

Walking to the end of this open area leads you back into the forest.
Here, you have a choice between taking the Merawan Trail. If you take the
Merawan Trail, it ends at a stairway and across it, the Penarahan Trail
awaits, another short trail passing through a patch with more or less intact
canopy (and rainforest structure). This trail is notable for having some
unique, twisting lianas.

5.2 Special Features

Each piece of the park has its own special qualities and characteristics that allowed one park different from
another types of park. KL Forest Eco Park or Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve is a real rainforest. It is a remnant
of the original lowland dipterocarp forest that once covered that part of the KlangValley. This park serves
many special features for the people to enjoy being there and feel the nature along their walkway (Salleh,
2017). There are several types of special features in this park which is Canopy Walk, Bamboo Walk, Herb
Park and Jelutong Trail.

i. KL Forest Eco Park Canopy Walkway

There is a fairly new forest canopy walkway at Bukit Nanas Forest

Reserve. Unlike the one that used to be open to the public in FRIM, this one was
constructed primarily for the visiting urban public. It is not supported by the trees
themselves, but by constructed pylons among the trees. Canopy Walkway is a
wood and steel aerial bridge that is about 200 metres long and above ground about
15 metres in height. All of this canopy walkway are connected by tower that
designed to easy access to another hanging bridge. There are 10 towers that was
labelled A-J. The bridge towers above the forest reserve, offering sweeping views
of Menara KL Tower and the KL city skyline.

The forestry educational information is delivered differently. All the

canopy towers have an information board that shows a diagram of the canopy and
understory people are looking at. They just need to scan the QR codes that
available on the information board using their smartphones and then the
information will be displayed. So, it is perfectly designed for the target
users. Hence, this park is good for educational trips as the visitors know and learn
about the dipterocarp rainforest by just scanning on the QR codes. The maximum
limitation on the canopy walk is 10 persons only.

24
 Figure 1 Shows the canopy walkway was actually going
uphill of Bukit Nanas every 50-100m, peoples have to walk
up the stairs at the towers to go higher.

Figure 2 Shows QR coded information

about the rainforest

ii. Jelutong Trail

The Jelutong Trail is about 300 metres long. Jelutong trail has many large
trees. Most of them are labelled with some information about them on wooden
plaques mounted on pedestals. It soon becomes obvious why the trail is so named;
jelutong trees (Dyera costulata) are obvious along the trail and the visitors will
pass a huge jelutong tree in this trail

25
 Figure 3 shows The Jelutong trail.

Figure 4 shows the big Jelutong tree (Dyera
. costulata) found by the side of the Jelutong Trail.

iii. Bamboo Walk
The Jelutong Trail allows visitors to cross onto the Bamboo Walk, a tiled
pavement with huge bamboo clumps growing on the sides.

Figure 4 shows Bamboo Walk, a pleasant stretch flanked by

clumps of giant bamboo.

iv. Herb Park

It was officiated by Ybhg. Puan Sri Datuk Rohani Abdullah on November
28, 2015. Starting off at Jalan Raja Chulan main entrance, visitors can take the
Sindora Track where it leads to forest trails, camping site, KL Tower and Wariseni
Gallery. There’s a tiled steps as well as old steps. Right before climbed up the
steps, visitors can visit the Herb Garden and Wild Orchid House. The example of

26
 herbs are Peliosanthes teta, Synsepallum dulcificum, Quisqualis indica and many
more.

Figure 5 shows the herb area in KL Forest

Eco Park

v. Hanging Bridge
Hanging bridge or rather hanging walkway is located near the camping
ground called the Dataran Hijau Camping Site and connected to the KL Tower
near the animal zone. The hanging bridge passes through amazing view of the
forest where lianas hanging by and large trees such as the 455 cm girth Jelutong
tree can be observed unimpeded.

Figure 7 shows the hanging bridge that serves many types

of lianas along the way.

27
6.0 ISSUES

The issues at the park is based on some observation and interview

i. Vehicle road and walk side not have any maintenance.
Vehicle and walk side are not being maintenance and it actually dangerous for visitors to
walk using this road. This is due to the roots enlargement that push and broken up the road.
The management should come with other alternative for this problem for visitor safety. Plus
for walk side road, they did not provide handle to hold. If the road is slippery especially after
rain it could be dangerous for visitor

ii. Falls brunches and trees.

There are some brunches that fall and block the walking side for visitor. This is on OKU
area. Plus, this should not happen as OKU people should be provided more comfortable and
safe environment rather than normal people.
Then, the cut down trees and brunches were not being managed properly. This can make the
other tree infected with diseases or it can be a house for harmful insects.

iii. No officer that in charged for visitor safety.

There is no officer that responsible of visitor safety. This is actually a serious issue although
our own safety is our own responsibility. They should provide at least 1 officer that can manage
any unexpected and emergency cases.

iv. Limited and broken information board lead to visitor confusion and loss.
The information board were already broken and it make the word unclear. This is because
the paper already wet and some of it is being cover by sand. Plus, the maps that being provided
were limited. This can lead to visitor loss and confusion. In the other hand there also have few
exit door and there are no notice where are actually the visitor position.

v. Parking lot too far from main entrance.

Parking lot is too far away from the main entrance. The visitor will face difficulty especially
for the first timer to go there and for those who have disable family members and elders.

28
7.0 PROBLEM SOLVING

By discussing with our teammates, this is our recommendation to solve the issues that occur
inside and outside of the parks

i. The walk side road for visitors are not comfortable and safe
The manager should up to date the maintainance the road every year or if necessary. Also,
they must clean the weeds on the roads to because it can be a dangerous to visitors especially after
rain. It must do on twice of year. Besides that, add handle for visitor to hold at the stair to our safety.
In addition, they also do repair to a better road for disable peoples for their recreation.

ii. The information board were already broken and the words unclear
As we know, the visitors whom they are first time will refer to the information board. It
should be repair or renew if there are any cracks so that the info can be spread to visitors. Besides
that, it can be a difficult to visitors to go somewhere. Also, provide a map to everyone or give an
online map so that visitors will not loss.

iii. No officers that are responsible or in-charge of visitor safety

The manager should need to tighter the monitoring surrounding the park which means they
should provide at least one officers on certain areas for any emergency cases.

iv. The road was blocked

The manager should be alert and be more efficient to any problem that occur especially
when it comes to visitor safety. It is because the road falls brunches or tree as soon as possible to
the night place. Besides that, please do more patrolling on the surrounding areas.

v. Parking lot
A parking should be a near place at the main entrance because to avoid some we no need
it like a traffic jammed. Besides that, they must give a tour guide or offices that in-charge starting
from the parking lot. So, that visitors does not get confius.

29
8.0 CONCLUSION

Bukit Nanas Forest Park, rebranded as KL forest Eco Park should be maintained as a recreational
forest, for the pleasure visitation by local and foreign tourist, with the secondary objective being for
conservation of city biodiversity of the flora and fauna. After development of the KL tower, which is
now one of the most prominent landscapes in Kuala Lumpur, BNFR should be protected against any
large and extensive infrastructure development. Over the last few decades the forest has decrease in
size and further reduction would become a great lost not only to the city of Kuala Lumpur but also to
nation. The management authority of the park, the forestry department peninsular Malaysia, has
provided much facilities that are highly rated as among the best in the country. Beside they have a lot
programs and activities such as planting tree, Community Services, School programed where visitor
will get knowledge and experience from these activities. This programmed A large pavilion at the
camping ground is a new addition to offer a more comfortable venue for education studies. There are
many other interesting aspect of the forest that we would be learnt. From our observation on Bukit
Nanas Forest Park, we have analyzed the issues that arise. We have concluded solution to the issue. We
have also learned the history of the park. The Forest department peninsular Malaysia has always been
committed troffer the best facilities and services. Let us hope that Bukit Nanas forest reserve will stand
the test of time and development surrounding it to serve the country as an Eco park for our generations.
