Bukit Lima Nature Reserve old trail closed for safety upgrades

The Sarawak Forestry Corporation (SFC) has clarified that the damaged old trail at the Bukit Lima Nature Reserve has been closed to the public for several months due to safety concerns. Closure notices have been installed to prevent unauthorized access while the area undergoes maintenance.

Phase 1 of the Bukit Lima Nature Reserve development project is complete, which included a new 600-meter recreational route, improvements to a 2-kilometer walking path connecting the north and south entrances, and the opening of a One Stop Centre in July 2024.

For Phase 2, Sarawak Premier Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg has approved an allocation of RM38 million under Projek Rakyat. This funding will be used to construct and upgrade walking trails, including the replacement of the damaged sections. Upgrading works are expected to commence in early 2027.
