Lekki Conservation Centre

A mangrove forest reserve on the Lekki Peninsula, known for its long suspended canopy walkway.

Lekki Conservation Centre is a 78-hectare mangrove forest reserve on the Lekki Peninsula, set back from the Lekki–Epe Expressway opposite Chevron's site.

The Nigerian Conservation Foundation has operated it since it was established in 1990 with initial funding from Chevron. Its best-known feature is a 401-metre suspended canopy walkway threaded through the forest canopy — commonly cited as the longest of its kind in Africa.
