taliwas river CONSERVATION AREA

Taliwas River Conservation Area or TRCA previously known as Taliwas Camp by Sabah Forestry Department.  It covers a unique ultramafic and lowland lowland forest area of about 9,546 hectares.  In the mid-1970s to 1980s, some of the areas within TRCA had been treated either with agroforestry technique or silvicultural treatments through girdling and enrichment planting by the Sabah Forestry Department before its management was handed over to the Yayasan Sabah Group in 1991.

TRCA, one of the earliest silviculturally treated areas, enriched with dipterocarps, is managed by the Yayasan Sabah Group for research, education, training and eco-tourism.  In 2012, the area was upgraded to Class 1 (Protection) Forest Reserve. 

The presence of its natural logged over forest, easily trekked Taliwas waterfall, coupled with soothing, refreshing clean jungle fresh air and crystal clear water and fishes in Taliwas River and together with some necessary recreational infrastructures make TRCA a family destination and school retreats for outdoor recreation (picnics and camping), environmental education and motivation/team-building camps.
