The purpose of the research is a socio-economic assessment of the effective integrated use of forest resources in the region. The methodology of socio-economic assessment of the effective integrated use of forest resources of the region is proposed, which is based on: an assessment of the number of contributions to the regional trust fund, based on the differentiation of minimum rates of payment for the use of forest resources; calculation of an integral coefficient reflecting the effectiveness of the mechanism of financial regulation according to economic, social and environmental criteria. The conceptual novelty of the research is determined by the creation of a Regional Trust Fund to support projects for the development of the forest complex in the region, which makes it possible: to level the conditions of forest resources management in the republic by differentiating minimum rates of payment for the use of forest resources; to assess the effectiveness of various measures up to time and allocate more funds for reforestation; minimize personnel risk in the industry and obtain information necessary to adapt the proposed mechanism to changes in the economy.
