Abstract: Forest areas, like other ecosystems, provide a range of ecosystem services. The most common classification of ecosystem services distinguishes them into four categories: provisioning, regulating, supporting, and cultural. As is well known, the two categories of services (provisioning and cultural) provide direct benefits to society. The paper focuses on a selected element of Cultural Ecosystem Services, namely recreation in forested areas.
