zoning condition
inaccessibilty, but great potentials in unique landscape characters routing to Montri is unclear and hidden
unactive, poor quality soil in some parts of the dry slope agriculture does not make use of tourism potentials
lack of connections with the mountains urbanisation and tourism is unstructured in the zones

model
Using small interventions and guiding natural processes we are attempting to control the severity of bushfires in the Montgris mountain range. By using the successions of forest vegitation and maintaining specific stages we will create diversity within the mountain region, therefore lowering the fire risks of the existing mono culture this will produce a medium where cultivation of small areas becomes possible, allowing the forest to reach its full potential both economically and ecologically.
