About
The former Kebon Rodjo nursery was replanted from 2013 and opened as an education forest on 4 April 2016. Footpaths and shelters wind through more than a thousand trees around a central rain-retention pond, and birdwatchers can spot minivets, tailorbirds and white-rumped shamas. It sits next to Pasar Oro-Oro Dowo, so you can pair a morning walk with market breakfast.
