Amenity trees contribute to the overall quality of urban environments and are valued for their beauty benefits they bring communities. However, assessment this capital commonly concludes with considerations its vitality decorativeness. Thus, research provided a monetary losses caused by supercell storm-induced uprooting growing in three public green spaces utilized most vulnerable population (children aged 3–18 years). For these purposes, Council Tree Landscape Appraisers (CTLA) formula was applied taking into account growth parameters, species dependence, specimens’ condition location. Prices from national European nurseries were obtain appropriate base values. The results indicate that total appraised loss amounted EUR 495,864 (national) 1,528,481 (European prices). P. nigra, B. alba, T. tomentosa, F. excelsior, A. saccharinum, occidentalis, cerasifera showed lower resistance no clear species-specific responses, but there an interaction biotic, abiotic, artificial influences. Understanding complex factors influencing tree stability is crucial planners arborists mitigate storm- wind-related risks. Collaborative planning participatory management essential safeguarding both economic environmental interests ensuring safety populations outdoor spaces.
