Bachdjerrah Forest (also known as Palm Forest), is a small woodland situated in Bachdjerrah, Algiers, Algeria. It is managed by the Forest Conservation Authority of Algiers and overseen by the General Directorate of Forests.

Bachdjerrah Forest had been neglected since 1984 due to the encroachment of informal buildings surrounding the area.[1][2][3] In 2012, the Algerian government initiated a program to remove and relocate informal settlements.[4] This project was completed in 2015.[5]

Location

Bachdjerrah Forest is located 18 kilometers east of Algiers, 70 kilometers east of Tipaza, and approximately 4 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea, in the town of Ain Taya within the Mitidja plain.[6][7]
