The research is devoted to the study of forestry land use in the zone of activity of the Busk forestry enterprise. A comprehensive geographical study of forests in the territory of Male Polissia as a whole and its individual parts is relevant both from an ecological and economic point of view. Its importance is growing in the context of the administrative reform and improvement of the land resources of the established communities and the consolidation of forestry enterprises announced in 2021. Today, Ukraine is not able to provide its own needs in timber and is one of the least forested countries in Europe.

The authors of the article believe that it is possible to understand the modern structure of land resources only through the prism of history. For these reasons, the study used cartographic materials of different times, which made it possible to trace the development of several forests from the end of the 18th century to the present. The study was carried out on four time slices: the map by Friedrich von Mieg of the late 18th century, the topographic map of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the end of the 19th century, the topographic map of the Military Geographical Institute of the 30s of the 20th century. and a modern satellite image of Google. The zone of activity of the Busk forestry enterprise fully covers the territory of the Busk and Krasne territorial communities and is partially located on the lands of the Dobrotvir, Novyi Yarychiv, Kamianka-Buzka, and Hlyniany communities. The forests of the studied region are part of nine forestries of Tadani, Hrabova, Verbliany, Polonychna, Kutkir, Ozhydiv, Sokolia, Neznaniv, Bolozhyniv. The largest areas are Tadani - 3917 hectares and Verbliany - 3603 hectares of forestry, and the smallest is Polonychna forestry, with an area of 1456 hectares.
