In whole, Kyiv as a developed industrial agglomeration has a favourable provision with biological resources. They are forests, municipal green plantations, waters and meadows. It significantly neutralizes technogenic influence on the environment. It compensates a temporal lack of technical methods of ecological protection. That's why provision of biological and ecological potential is very actual task of municipal services and state natural protection organizations. That's why the efforts of suitable services of the State Management Department concentrate today on maximum reserving of municipal landed, vegetable, water resources as well as on their inviolability, protection and preservation.

Accordingly to the Order of Kyiv municipal state authority ( 25.12.1995, No.325) a regional landscape park "Golosiyivskii" is created.

For improvement of state of green plantations and according to orders of Kyiv municipal authority there was taking down of dead-wood, emergency, patients trees and trees damaged by mistletoe as well as purging away of trees from mistletoe. During this year 17216 trees are cut down and 6248 are purge away from mistletoe.

Accordingly to Ukraine President order "Upon the Ukraine action "Tree is Life" in Kyiv 10727 trees and 25401 were planted, and in all in 1997 in Kyiv 24912 trees, 61890 bushes, 49438100 flowers, 177,1 h grass-plots were planted.

In 1997 12 regional organizations of green plantations, 3 forest-park economies, 37 natural protection fund units were checked out as for observance of natural protection legislation.

For forest state improvement, ecological and biological functions increasing, it is necessary to make a permanent detailed inventory and calculation of many years woodsy plantations that used by departments, enterprises, commercial and other organizations. It is necessary to implement arrangements upon improvement of sanitary forests state, to implement a landscape reconstruction of green plantations, to increase specific trees and brushwoods breeds storage, to introduce the fast-growing evergreen arboreal breeds in plantations . It is necessary to refresh an active vertical planting of greenery up of municipal buildings

In plantations of general using (parks, public gardens, boulevards) a works complex are taking for supporting a necessary sanitary state of these territories. The sanitary parks state ( Syretskii forest, Kyrylivskii forest, Hydropark, Golosiyivskii Rylskii park, slopes of the Dnipro right bank ) does not suit today park economy standards. The main cause of this state is a lack of necessary funds projects development of their reconstruction and investments lack for their arrangement and observation.

Development of green economy in the town has a direction of new areas creation landscape reconstruction.In spite of correct execution of ecological functions by available potential of vegetable resources, in aforesaid sphere there are series of problems wanted to solving.

The main bodies of municipal ecological territories incseasing for planting of greenery and for recreation (landscape parks, public gardens, arboretums, gardens and etc.) are the following: school allotments, courts of education offices, research institutes and organizations. Liquidation of technically obsolete productions based within the town also can help to this task. However, as a practice testifies, this reserve is used insufficiently, the same as dusting air decreasing factors. It can be reached by the way of maximum reserving of natural soil and vegetable cover, removals and localizations of natural dusting centres, soils protection from air and water erosion and mechanical influence. But the main factor is perhaps in planting all of open territories with arboreal-shrub or grassy vegetation.
