Due to the loss of legal validity of the regulation, the Constitutional Tribunal discontinued the proceedings on the motion by the President of the Supreme Audit Office to examine the compliance – with Article 2, Article 5 and Article 31 (3) of the Constitution of Poland – of Article 83 (3) of the Act of 16th April 2004 on nature protection in the scope in which the consent to fell a roadside tree depended on replacing it with other trees or bushes, with the number of the latter being not lower that the number of felling trees. According to the President of NIK, this regulation contravened the following constitutional principles: sufficient definition of the law stemming from the principle of a democratic state of law; sustainable development; proportion. Taking into account the concern of the President of NIK for the life and health of road users and the state authorities’ obligation to provide protection of the environment, in the situation when subsequent amendments to the Act on nature protection did not solve the issue of roadside trees, the author presents the charges included in the motion to the Constitutional Tribunal, and he attempts to assess their legitimacy.

The central part of the Silesia Park in Chorzów was designed as a forest refugium. Now this area of 200 ha is under pressure. Many trees have been cut down for the safety of park visitors. The forest is of significance for people who prefer walking and relaxation far from urban noise and park events. In May 2015, a pilot valuation survey of the forest refugium was conducted using the contingent valuation method (CVM). Respondents were asked if they would be willing to pay a local tax established in consequence of a referendum. Almost half of the respondents did not support implementation of this tax in surrounding towns. The maximum annual tax amount declared by the respondents was 100 PLN, the annual average was 34 PLN and the annual median was 20 PLN. Taking into account the number of residents who totally rejected the tax proposal, the average annual amount was 17 PLN. The forest refugium in the Silesia Park is appreciated by naturalists but is not often visited by the public. This forest area is probably not sufficiently important for the residents to introduce a local tax. The aim of this article is to show restrictions of the use of the CVM method.

Centralna część Parku Śląskiego w Chorzowie została zaprojektowana jako leśna ostoja. Obecnie ten 200-hektarowy obszar jest poddawany presji. Wiele drzew zostało wyciętych dla bezpieczeństwa odwiedzających, ale las stanowi dużą wartość dla osób preferujących spacery i odpoczynek z dala od zgiełku miejskiego oraz parkowych imprez. W maju 2015 r. przeprowadzono wstępną wycenę ostoi leśnej metodą wyceny warunkowej (CVM). Ankietowanych pytano o chęć zapłaty podatku lokalnego wprowadzonego w drodze referendum. Prawie połowa ankietowanych nie poparła wprowadzenia takiego podatku nałożonego na mieszkańców okolicznych miast. Maksymalna zadeklarowana kwota podatku wyniosła 100 zł rocznie, średnia - 34 zł, a mediana 20 zł rocznie. Po uwzględnieniu osób odrzucających podatek, średnia kwota wyniosła 17 zł rocznie. Ostoja leśna w Parku Śląskim jest doceniana przez przyrodników, ale nie jest powszechnie odwiedzana przez ludność. Ten zalesiony obszar jest prawdopodobnie za mało ważny dla wprowadzenia podatku lokalnego. Celem artykułu jest pokazanie ograniczeń zastosowania metody CVM.
