The Natura 2000 network is a fundamental element of EU policy in the field of nature protection and the example of Europe’s enormous efforts to preserve biodeversity for future generations. Detailed principles of conduct in Natura 2000 areas are determined separately for each area and recorded in the plans for protection tasks. Planning effective action, and particularly identifying specific treatment of acitve protection requires monitoring and assessment of the conservation status of the natural environment and its factors. This paper is an analysis of the application of technology of airborne and terrestrial laser scanning in this context. Research carried out on a part of Natura 2000 area, Białka Valley (PLH120024), indicated that development conducted on point clouds allows for monitoring habitat enrichment, and supports the process of creating plans for protection tasks.
