It is a good rule of thumb and establishes the dragon in the area, I would then stagger the Lair actions over that period, the next month you have the Grasping roots, the month after; the wall of tangled brush, the next month; the fog.  So, over a four month period to build the lair.  Size of lair: that is harder but I would be looking at something like CON rating or Hit Dice and say size of the lair equal that.  For example a Young Green Dragon has CON of 17, I would put that as a lair of 1.7 square mile.  An adult has a CON of 21, 2.1 square mile lair, ancient, 2.5 square mile.  Of course, you could adjust as you see fit and best works for your game.   This then places Regional Effects out to 3 miles from the center of the lair.  Hunting Range, is half the distance in flight from the lair.  Meaning, the dragon can always be back to the lair in 4 hours.What happens after the dragon is gone?  I would say very little, the land has been magically changed and I would keep the area as is for a good period of time.</blockquote>
