This method is based on evaluation the main characteristics of shelter-belts. There were evaluated the parameters of single shelter-belts, as well as their integration to the ecological network of the landscape. By this there was created the points system, which makes into account the age, height, width, length and gaps of the shelter-belt. In evaluation of the network (space layout) of shelterbelts threw were evaluated parameters of distance, relation to the systems of ecological stability and the integration to the geomorphology of the landscape. The result is the tabulation of shelter-belts in the scale 1-12 for the singular shelterbelts and 1-9 for their space layout. The value scale of the criteria is 1-3. By these criteria it is possible to place the shelterbelts into 3 groups according their functionality. This points system enables the evaluation of the shelterbelts and it makes easier the decisions how and why to reconstruct or make up them.
