The paper aimed to present the evolution of policy on the maintenance and preservation of field shelterbelts in Ukraine. Analysis of the current state and dynamics of areas of field shelterbelts indicates an unsatisfactory trend of this type of land use in terms of their ecological and economic suitability and socio-economic needs, and funding for measures to create protective forests and forest shelterbelts is insufficient. It is based on statistical data of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine, the State Service of Ukraine for Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre, the Accounting Chamber, etc. It is proposed to take into account not only the field shelterbelts on non-agricultural territories of agricultural lands, but also the field protection role of forests in the strategic planning decisions on land use. This approach determines the reflection in the land policy of measures for the maintenance and preservation of field shelterbelts located on agricultural lands, as well as measures to promote protective afforestation.
