The authors, prompted by the international Man and Biosphere program, carried out an inventory and valuation of forest and green areas in Białowieża parish located in Białowieża Forests in 1995. They have examined an area of 1910 h in terms of green areas in towns, villages and forests in the countryside. The interesting findings (e. g. changes due to succession observed in uncultivated fields and meadows) should form the basis of management plans for these areas.
