In Poland, unlike most European countries, there are many areas of unconverted, primal environment. The natural character of our country results from slower economic growth and industrial development. To equal Western Europę, we have to accept the irreversible changes in our immediate environment. Most of the forest areas are owned by the State and because of that they will be put under new investments at the first place. To minimize the risk of devastation and scalę of the destruction, as well as to prevent the disappearance of uniąue, yet most precious natural environment various forms of naturę conservation were introduced. When taking a decision on the creation of a new object or area related to naturę conservation it must be ensured that it will fully comply with all of its features. The aim of this study was to analyze the use of social, scientific and educational functions of naturę reserves located in two Warsaw suburban forest districts: Chojnów and Drewnica. The analysis showed that the degree of utilization of the various naturę reserves is strongly diversified. There are many reserves very popular among the public, such as: Reserve "Biele Chojnowskie", Reserve "Skarpa Oborska", Reserve "Uroczysko Stephana", and Reserve "Łęgi Czarnej Strugi". As scientifically valuable naturę reserves may be considered: Reserve “im. Bolesława Hryniewickiego”, Reserve „Bagno Jacka”, Reserve „Dębina” and Reserve „Kawęczyn”. Only ten from morę than twenty naturę reserves act as teaching. In Warsaw suburban forest districts there are also naturę reserves of minor importance, such as: Reserve "Pilawski Grąd", Reserve "Wolica" and Reserve "Skarpa Jeziorki". Popular tourist places are situated near large cities. In order to increase the attractiveness of naturę reserves adeąuate infrastructure and advertising must be ensured.
