THE clearing of trees and logging activities at the Taman Rimba Commonwealth and Hutan Lipur Kanching in Templer’s Park, Rawang to make way for an elevated highway had captured the public’s attention in September.

The project is known as Rawang Bypass which connects Templer’s Park to Sungai Choh near Serendah.
