    In the years 2016–2017, dendrological and landscape studies were carried out in the selected area of the Wolin commune. Five alleys with a total length of 16 km between the forest ecological corridor and the Szczecin Lagoon were selected for the study. The aim of the study was to confirm the fulfilment of the natural and protective functions of these trees in the definition of ecological areas. The compositional-spatial features of the roadside have also been analysed. The study trails consisted of seven tree species ranging from 100 m to 1800 m, the most numerous of which were Acer platanoides (458) and Quercus robur (258). In terms of natural values, Acer platanoides (24–30 points) and Tilia cordata (23–27) gained the highest values, among the alleys – planting no II (26 points), I (22), III and V (20). The absence of traces of devastation of roadside trees and the presence of 15 wind turbines, would indicate a high ecological awareness of farmers and understanding for the use of renewable energy. Assessed ecological functions of alleys and their location indicated on their significant contribution to the conservation of biodiversity and protective functions. The health condition of the investigated alleys points out no significant threat factors. Biometric measurements of trees in the analysed alleys showed that the tree-lined roadside meets the requirements of ecological areas. Despite of the presence of wind turbines, which are strong visual dominant, the value of the studied area was highly valued, mainly due to the compositional and landscape diversity.
