Abstract

The last years forest wildfires has increased in Greece, impacting traditional hiking areas.
The question we ask ourselves is how to return to these burned areas? What will the next years look like? Are we to record and keep a memory of the scars in the landscape? Or are we to return as if nithing happened in those degraded landscapes and continue our activities?
The presentation will focus on the study on the revalorisation of the burned forest of Northern Evia. The work with the Forest firefighter and the records collected fir prevention and study. As well as the work on the representations of these scarred landscapes on hiking maps.
