The article presents a method of tree valorisation according to their biocenotic values. Three categories of descriptive and numerical evaluation of the biocenotic value of a tree were proposed. They result from individual features, connections to the immediate surroundings and location in regard to the discussed object and neighbouring ecosystems.

The resolutions changed the fees in effect as of March 01, 2020, which were widely perceived as a draconian, unfair increase in the cost of living. In particular, they affected single-person households, which until March 2020 paid PLN 10 per month (e.g., in Ursynów and Ochota districts) – now PLN 65, and PLN 94 per month in single-family buildings.

The Kurpie region is among the most interesting ethnographic regions of Poland, with the center of the original, well-preserved and carefully cultivated folk culture of the Kurpie [ethnographic group of the Polish population]. The image of the Kurpie village resulted from centuries of human activity. Over the centuries, transformations of the landscape occurred. Activities that gave the area a modern appearance were based on adaptation of the natural environment for cultivation of land and gradual establishment of human settlements.

For many years there has been periodic discussion of the intention to divide the administrative division of the Mazovian Voivodeship by separating from it a province encompassing Warsaw and surrounding counties. The discussion on this subject intensified in 2020 after statements by representatives of the ruling party, according to which the above division would be carried out in 2021.

The importance of multiculturalism for the development of tourism, consistently emphasized in the literature, shows the long history and rich tradition of this form of tourism. Poland has historically been a land of transition between East and West, a land where different cultures have existed side by side: German, Jewish, Polish, and Russian. For centuries Poland was a meeting place of different religions and cultures and today’s landscape still shows evidence of this. The catastrophe of World War II brought the annihilation of a multicultural society and created a homogeneity, unprecedented in our history.

The article presents the application of the method of biocenotic evaluation of trees in the park “Villa Mindic” (Moldova). When conducting the inventory, preliminary design decisions were taken into account, which also influenced the determination of tree values. Extending the valorization of the plants with a study of their health status, including safety for people, the results were obtained, which served to make the design. Places were selected that, regardless of the conditions, must ensure safe stay, fragments of the area where visiting the park is restricted, and those where, due to high biocenotic values, including protection of breeding and reproduction sites of animals, traffic routes and rest areas are not envisaged.
