Background

This forest was established in 1983 on the initiative of Prof. Dr. Ir. Sambas Wirahadikusumah, M.Sc., a lecturer at UI. The main aim of establishing this forest is to create a green space that can function as a water catchment area, germplasm preservation, and biodiversity research area for students.{{cite news|url=https://www.ui.ac.id/wajah-hijau-hutan-kota-ui/|title=Wajah Hijau Hutan Kota UI|newspaper=ui.ac.id|accessdate=17 July 2024}}
