Nenuk Teak Forest

According to some parents who are still alive, that the Jati Nenuk forest bequeaths traces of the past history when Japan controlled the land of Indonesia, especially Timor-NTT.nnIt was said that at that time, the people of Timor-NTT were required to work in cooperation to grow commercial crops for Japanese interests. Among the plants planted by the people, one of them is the obligation to plant teak trees along the Nenuk-Lalian Village in Naekasa Village. That means the Teak trees were planted by residents together with the Japanese army between 1942-1945. The areas planted by teak trees in Nenuk cover a wide plain, about 4.5 km long and about 800 m wide. Now the oldest teak forests are around 74-75 years old.nnIt was told that the forest area of ​​Jati Nenuk between 1950-1987 was full of magical mythic stories. Passing the night in the middle of the Teak forest with a vehicle people are scared. Besides being full of magical mythic stories, the Teak forest is a haven for criminals, namely thieves / robbers and rapists. Residents around often say the same thing that the Nenuk teak forest in the past often occur murders and theft in it. This makes people not dare to approach, or cut the Teak Trees.nnResidents only often look for wooden branches in the vicinity. Now the Jati Nenuk forest has become an asset belonging to the Belu government. It could be that the Government took over from the colonialism era. When the rainy season, the leaves of the tree become lush, and looks cool. I often suddenly stopped my vehicle and then rested for a moment in the grove of teak forest, on the edge of the highway. The atmosphere is cool and fresh.
