The formation of a comprehensive forest management strategy in Ukraine should in accordance with the criteria that create the preconditions for achieving parity of environmental, economic and social aspects of sustainable development. In the country, the establishment of compliance of the forest management system with certain international requirements should be realized through the implementation of the Helsinki Criteria for Sustainable Forest Development. The purpose of the work was analyzed the state of forests and the actual indicators of economic activity of forestry enterprises operating in the Steppe Zone of Ukraine according to of the Helsinki Criteria. The source data were the materials of sectoral reporting and state statistical information.The article shows the distribution of the forest area within administrative Dnipropetrovsk region by forest users. The distribution of the area of forest subordinated to the State Agency of Forest Resources of Ukraine by functional categories is analyzed. The structure of nature reserve fund of objects and territories of the forest fund was estimated. The provision of forestry with labor resources is indicated.The areas covered with forest vegetation by dominant forest-forming species with distribution by age group was given.The total forest phytomass and its trend for forestry enterprise which subordinated to the State Agency of Forest Resources of Ukraine in Dnipropetrovsk region was calculated. The distribution of the total phytomass by structural components of plantations – wood and bark of trunks, wood and bark of branches, leaves, roots and subtent are given. The dynamics of the average values of the total stock of trunk wood for stand forest, the density of phytomass and the deposited carbon in the forest phytomass are described. The effect of biotic factors on forest plantations had been assessed – the species composition of pests and phytopathogenes and the area of their foci had been established. The list of the main forestry measures connected with timber harvesting was given.The species composition and distribution of area covered vegetation by forest-forming species and age groups in forests of the protective functional categories which prevent soil erosion was characterized.
