⁣Nordson Forest Park is a 60-hectare man-made community forest located in Victorias City, province of Negros Occidental in the Philippines. It used to be a sugarcane plantation for many generations until the current owner and hometown boy lawyer Nordy P. Diploma planted the first batch of trees in 1996 with the help of students from the Negros Occidental Science High School which is located on a 3-hectare campus that he donated to the school.

Around 29 varieties of trees have been planted on more than 30 hectares with an additional 20 hectares recently planted with mostly endemic species.

The old plantation workers, about 30 families, have been given their own community housing with the help of Gawad Kalinga.
