General supervision is provided by the Scientific and Information Department of the USCF. The Laboratory of Forest Monitoring and Certification at the Ukrainian Research Institute of Forestry and Forest Melioration is the main forest monitoring implementation center in Ukraine. The monitoring network covers the main forested regions of the country and represents different geographical zones. It consists of 330 plots in 18 administrative regions of Ukraine and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Information is available online regarding the current state of the Ukrainian National Forest Monitoring Program.
