Abstract
Forest management implements and shapes the non-productive functions of the forest. The implementation of functions related to nature conservation often contributes to the reduction of the production function. Therefore, it is important to estimate the extent of lost benefits in order to provide a more comprehensive estimate of the total costs of nature conservation. The aim of the study was to estimate the alternative costs in the forest districts of the Regional Directorate of State Forests (RDSF) in Poznań resulting from the functioning of year-round protection zones around protected bird nests in the forest area. As follows from the analyses carried out, the estimated alternative costs of this form of nature protection are significant and amount to a total of PLN 4,166,493.54 in 2023 (PLN 10.36/ha/year for 1 ha of forest area and PLN 2,192.94/ha/year for 1 ha of protected area).
