Abstract
The inventory carried out on the area of the Goraj Forest Range allowed to catalogue 531 valuable specimens of arborescent plants from 48 taxons and 20 families, including 33 native taxons and 15 taxons of foreign origin. Fagus sylvatica, Carpinus betulus and Quercus robur were found to have the greatest share. The circumference of the majority of the measured plants ranged from 201 to 340 cm, although specimens measuring from 121 to 180 cm were also quite common. The health condition of almost 87% of the examined plants was assessed as very good and good. The Goraj Forest Range is a very valuable area from the point of view of dendrology. Thirty-four plant specimens growing in this forest range are covered by monumental protection, 158 specimens are characterised by monumental circumferences and 296 specimens have circumferences close to monumental. That is why 100 trees and bushes found here were recommended to be placed under protection in the form of nature monuments.
