The last remaining piece of unmarked land in USJ, situated between the TNB power lines and USJ3C along Persiaran Setia, will be developed into an Urban Forest. Since last year, the usage of this piece of land has been up in discussion, since the proposed private recreation development fell thru and was cancelled.
While private developers were eying the land (size about 5 acres) for various commercial development, JKP Zone 3 was determined to see it preserved as recreational for the benefit of Subang Jaya & USJ residents. Toying with the idea of an Organic Eco Farm, center for some cultural activities, and a green lung, the development of this recreational center is moving ahead this November with the phase 1: creating an urban forest.
What was great was MPSJ Town Planning Department also was moving along the same thinking lines as JKP, and they revealed earlier this year a suggestion to create the urban forest. Things got into motion with a meeting between MPSJ’s Town Planning Department, Landscape Department and JKP in March.
Since then, Rotary Club of USJ has come forth to volunteer to do tree planting, and the timing was perfect, and so, with that on 11th November 2011 (11/11/11), JKP3, MPSJ & Rotary Club of USJ will be planting 1111 (yes, one thousand one hundred and eleven trees) at the site.
MPSJ is in the midst of preparing the trees to be planted, as well as the necessary earth works as you read this now. For Phase one, besides planting the trees, there will be an earth trail thru the “forest”.
Later, we aim to build some public toilets, maybe some picnic areas, and if we can get a suitable partner, start the Organic Farm, which will serve as some sort of plant and maybe animal museum to the city kids.
