This is a recent collaboration between the Chaipattana Foundation and other public and local agencies to develop a 64-acre plot of deserted rubber tree forest, donated by the Lakkhunaprasit Family, into a community forest zone. The purpose of this community forest is to conserve and restore the forest conditions, as well as to encourage the local community to utilise the natural resources in a sustainable way and with correct understanding of their roots and purposes. Notably, local youth participation in the forest conservation has been cultivated as a part of the Project.
Furthermore, local flora and fauna are abundant and considerably untarnished. They serve as a highlight for ecotourism recently promoted by the Chaipattana Foundation to enhance the Project. Visitors can engage in a forest expedition along trekking tracks in the forest.
