The thesis presents comparative analysis of two methods of trees valuation. The first one is the current administrative system used to determine the level of fees and penalties charged for trees removal. Detailed description of this method for calculating the fees and penalties is included in the Regulation of the Minister of Environment dated October 13, 2004. Administrative fees do not take into account significant factors affecting the assessment of the value of trees. The second method, developed by the Institute of Spatial Planning and Housing (IGPiM) in collaboration with the University of Life Sciences (SGGW), defines the trees replacement value as based on the series of evaluation elements applied widely in the methods used globally. This second method allows for a more realistic assessment of the value of trees, as it takes into account costs of tree production in the nursery and factors relating to older tree’s condition and its location.
