| Summary: | This paper discusses the concept of forest park for public recreational use and educational resource to be provided
by Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve in Puchong, Selangor. This reserve has served as a teaching and research site but
must be ready to allow people to set foot in. The recreation opportunity to be provided must be able to accommodate
recreational needs that prioritised rewarding experience and educational-based recreation opportunity within the
natural setting. Any recreational access and utilisation must involve low impact use and its development has to
be based on the ecological limitation of the forest reserve. For a benefiting use of the area for recreation and its
stewardship, the forest requires the practise of park recreation management and an integrated institutional
arrangement. These include provision of recreational opportunities to the public albeit protection of the resources.
In conclusion it is recommended that Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve be classified and gazetted as an open forest reserve. |
