UTM Recreational Forest

Nestled within the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) campus, the UTM Recreational Forest is a 53-hectare natural haven, offering

  • Lush greenery.
  • Diverse flora and fauna.
  • Stunning hilly landscapes.

Managed by the Ecotourism Campus Unit since October 1, 2009, the forest was developed with a vision to promote eco-tourism and environmental education. With an initial budget of nearly RM 80,000, the forest now boasts special features like a Herbal Garden, Nadir Plants collection, and an Observation Tower (part of the Phase II development project from 2017-2021). These unique attractions set UTM Recreational Forest apart from other recreational forests.
