Daxueshan is home to natural forests and bamboo groves, and half the community is involved in ecotourism or accommodation. When a proposal was made to ban the use of pesticides, it passed with very little controversy, and fruit farmers there use as little in the way of agricultural chemicals as possible.
轄區內本就多自然林、竹林，社區居民也半數以生態旅遊、民宿為業，因此沒經過太多掙扎就通過完全禁絕使用除草劑的決議，即便是栽種果樹也儘量少用農藥，果子雖然不能長得碩大肥美，卻甘甜無害。
