Various studies in environmental management have indicated the need of public support for the conservation of urban forest. Public support is important to ensure the sustainability of urban forest: This paper discusses about the peoples support and awareness for Bukit Kiara Forest which was purposed as an urban forest park. In specific this paper discusses the roles of knowledge about forest and its benefits and the effect to people supports towards forest conservation. A pilot survey based on a systematic sampling of30 households around Bukit Kiara using survey questionnaire related to benefits of forest and their support for urban forest conservation were gauged. And the result indicates that the public are aware and concern about Bukit Kiara Forest benefits. This can be concluded that public support for the urban forest conservation for Bukit Kiara forest might be high and the design of the Bukit Kiara Park must take into account people expectation and perception about the values and benefits of the forest.
