FRIM is a popular spot for picnickers, joggers, bicyclers, tourists and nature study groups.
It is also a great place for family events, treasure hunts, camping, birdwatching, jungle
trekking and nature photography. Visit the traditional Malay houses and walk the tranquil
gardens. Picnic by the waterfalls or catch a glimpse of the 'monster fish' lurking within the
ponds on the grounds. For the nature lover, the Arboreta, a wide open space planted with
specific species of plants and trees is a “living museum” and a learning experience. The
Herbarium houses over 200,000 specimens - try counting them all!
If that isn't enough to do, visit the museum and find out how FRIM rose to become one of
the country's leading institutions in tropical forestry research. This 600-ha site in Kepong,
just 16 km northwest of Kuala Lumpur, promotes the management and use of forest
resources through research, technology and application. The three divisions of FRIM; The
Forestry Division (providing data and guidelines for managing the natural forests); The
Product Development Division (focusing on developing forest-based industries); and The
Biotechnology Division (creating new planting material through genetic engineering), have
earned the Institute a name for itself in tropical forestry with award-winning research and
international collaboration. FRIM also manages six field research stations in various parts
of the country. After the museum, stop at the nursery or check out the wetlands. Take time
to appreciate nature. Spend a day at FRIM!
