Information

The story started with a small group of people in the area of Khung Bang Krachao. These
people wanted to conserve and develop resources and the environment of Phra Pradaeng District

in Samut Prakan Province since 2007 in the name of the group "Urban Community Forest Park,

Suan Pa Ked Nom Klao (Ked Nom Klao Forest Park)" or so-called briefly as " Suan Pa Ked (Ked
Forest Park)". It is the state property land in the project area of Garden amid the Metropolis. It is

located at Moo 2, Songkanong sub-dristict, Phra Pradaeng District of Samut Prakan Province with

the area of 16 rai. Mr. Prempree Tairat, the community leader of Moo 2, gathered community
people in the area to conduct activities on the basis of natural resources and environment

conservation so that they will remain in the original condition as much as possible. Changing area
conditions should be avoided especially for building permanent objects or permanent buildings. A

lot of things are done. For example, garden beds are cleaned. Weeds are removed. Planting and
maintenance are conducted for indigenous plants, edible plants, medicinal plants. This also

includes collecting seeds of indigenous plants for seedling propagation. Then, these seedlings are

transferred to be planted in the forest park of urban communities.
