Kareem's Forest Park

Kareem's Forest Park is located at Puliyamkulam near Parappa in the eastern part of Kasaragod district. Keralam Tourism describes it as a 32-acre man-made forest created by Kareem, a local conservationist who transformed previously degraded land into a thick, self-sustaining green environment. The forest contains a wide variety of plants, shrubs and medicinal species and provides habitat for birds and small wild animals.

It has attracted environmentalists, students, scientists and other visitors interested in practical examples of forest regeneration. The experience here is different from a government wildlife sanctuary: its importance lies in the conservation story and the way patient planting and protection created forest-like conditions on private land. Puliyamkulam falls in the Parappa area of Vellarikundu taluk, and current Keralam government and India Post references support PIN 671533 rather than the 671531 value in the source file.

Visitors should respect private-property access arrangements and the fragile ecology of the site.
