I Love The Nature - The Biodiversity At Bukit Kledang - Jenny Ooi / HH Harriet

"..the smell of vegetation and trampled grass" ... 

“I love nature. The smell of the vegetation especially trampled grass, the view when we go to a higher elevation and then look down and when coming out of a run it is exhilarating” said Jenny Ooi after she had just completed her Friday run with other HHH members at Bukit Kledang.  

.. the view looking down .....

Ooi the Grand Mistress of Hash House Harriets, Ipoh has been with the club for 38 years and loves nature.

She said that thirty eight years ago at Kledang hills there were a lot of places to run. Between Jelapang to Menglembu there was Meru, Bradken, Papan, Pusing, and Buntong quarry just to name a few.

It is always fun even now but previously the trails were interesting and the terrain was challenging with so much variety.

 Another of her likes when running is photographing the flora and fauna of the jungle surroundings. “I find it quite unique and have been photographing whenever i come across anything interesting. Together with another Hasher, Kenny Lee we share our collection of photographs”

Below are Ooi’s collection of flora and fauna taken at Bukit Kledang over the years. Its shows the biodiversity of this undocumented forest which resembles a treasure.
