The reasons of the growing relevance of the question of space-toponymical inventory of forests in general and particularly in Kirovograd region are analysed and systematised in the article. The main toponymical research areas and the bibliography have been considered. The special attention is focused on the features of Kirovohrad region toponymy study. The problems of toponymical and spatial research of Kirovohrad region forests features are analysed. The methodology of carrying out space-toponymical inventory of forests was submitted. The different age’s maps and specialized cartographic works were investigated in details for gathering information discovering quantitative and qualitative changes in the system of drymonyms in research region. A large amount of lost and changed place names of wooded areas was restored. The obtained database of drymonyms has been analysed for detecting changed, varied and dual wood names and also saved authentic toponyms. The research data were presented in the detailed statistics on forests of Kirovohrad region and their names. The main space-toponymical features and trends of forested areas in Kirovohrad region were identified. The schematic map, that contains generalized information about spatial distribution of Kirovohrad region forests, there real outlines (by the moment of creating the map) and there toponyms – authentic and changed with references to information sources, was signed.
