Forest Reserve Malaysia (FRIM) Located at Bukit Lagong Forest Reserve The Regent of Selangor approved the establishment of a forest research institute (FRI) in an area that was stripped of its original forest cover for vegetable farming and mining activities at Kepong in 1925. A year later, Dr F.W. Foxworthy, the first forest research officer, started setting up a forest nursery and an experimental plantation on a large scale. Messrs. McCartney and Whitty made a plane-table survey of 1, 500 acres of old mining land in Kepong in 1922 and suggested the areas as a possible site for a forest school and experimental plantations.
