Methodology is based on an equivalent and comprehensive evaluation of the dendrological, ecological, landscape, composition and historical values of the avenues.In this paper the results of the valorization of eight roadside avenues were presented. Seven avenues in the whole and most valuable section of the avenue Maszewo-Jenikowo, were recommended for the conservatory protection, as work of the garden art with high cultural and landscape advantages.
