Bangkok’s Metro Forest - A Unique walk Through the Trees
Located at the Eastern fringes of Bangkok in the suburban district of Prawet, approximately 6 kilometers from the Suvarnabhumi International Airport, lies the The Metro-Forest Project. An ecological regeneration project designed as an outdoor exhibition space to cultivate environmental awareness and educate visitors about local forest ecology. The project, on an abandoned site, aimed to reclaim 5 acres of valuable land and reverse the trends of suburban sprawl, urban heat island, and flood-prone developments through the incorporation of historically local (native and introduced) lowland tropical tree species.
In early 2012, the landscape architects were commissioned by the PTT Reforestation Institute to design a space for reforestation. Initial analysis of the abandoned site indicate the dredging of soil as the excavation created pits for illegal trash dumps. The prior excavation inspired the landscape architects to create a new terrain for forest regeneration.
Construction began in May 2013 where approximately 37,000 cu.m of earthwork was introduced and graded with 7,000 cu.m of planting soil to create the engineered berms that would provide a suitable planting medium and terrain for the new urban forest.
Approximately 60,000 trees of more than 279 unique species were planted on approximately 75% of the overall site.
Visitors can explore the park at ground level, the elevated walkway or by climbing the observation tower for amazing views of the park and the surrounding area. Admission is free of charge and worth a few hours of your time if you want to experience a bit of nature in the urban jungle of ten million people.
