The forest recreation centre, located strategically along the Lahad Datu-Tawau Highway, serves as an important rest-stop for long-haul travelers.
The surrounding forest consists of various forest types; MDF, limestone vegetation and ultramafic vegetation. This interesting combination of various forest types can be exploited to educate locals on forest conservation. An well-managed environment education programme can be established for this purpose.
