For integral estimation of recreational potential, all stands are divided into 4 classes of recreation value (CRV), stands of the 1st CRV are the most challenging for recreational use and in the stands of the 4th CRV recreational forest management should be stopped till conduction of a complex of measures aimed at their restoration and increase of recreational value would be implemented. Application of the above mentioned method of determination of recreational potential gives an opportunity to simplify the work on compiling the Cadastre of forests of recreational assignment due to standardization and formalization of represented data which characterize recreational value of each area. Results of monitoring observations of forest conditions with determination of their recreational potential estimation give a basis for objective identification of character and degree of damage caused by recreation and other kinds of anthropogenic impact.
