The population’s demand for recreational services tends is growing steadily, the amount of growth varies depending on objective and subjective factors. The problem of economic assessment of forest recreation can be solved only after the recognition of recreational services and their inclusion in the economic relations between the state, the population and private business. Economic estimation of the recreational function of forests will help to scientifically justify the amount of damage to be compensated for damage caused to forests by industy, institutions, organizations and citizens. Recreational function can be attributed to natural resources, since it has a potential value. In market conditions, it is the final consumer of recreation-the population-that should evaluate the recreational function. The size of this theoretical payment revealed in the course of the study allows us to judge the value that the recreational function of forests represents for the state and the population. The inclusion of recreational services in economic relationships will allow to get an independent and objective estimation of the recreational function of forests.
