In this study, called “Investigation on Adaptation Abilities of Native and Exotic Tree Species in the Afforestation Areas in Bartın Region” it was aimed to make pre-evaluation on the primary growing performances and survival rate the various species used in the afforestation works in the Bartın region. When the values of growing performance and survival percentage of seedlings determined in the afforestation areas and conditions in the growing site are considered. Stone pine and maritime pine are quite successful species. Especially stone pine has a significant place for the forestry in the region and Turkey in terms of wood and fruit production. However, stone pine plantations should be designed to allow wider planting distance for the production of fruit and the origins and quality of the seedlings should be appropriate to this aim. In the afforestation works in Bartın region, as a fast growing species, maritime pine plantations were formed in wide areas. In these plantations, although there are some mechanization practices, intensive cultivation techniques that are generally important in industrial plantation formations, selection of origins, using seedlings of high quality and determination of afforestation areas that are appropriate in terms of edaphic and physiographic conditions were not assigned importance. Despite the errors in the formation of afforestation areas, the growing performance of maritime pine in the region is at a satisfactory level. The pre-evaluation results in the black pine and calabrian pine afforestation areas in the region showed that diameter and height growing performance of these species were satisfactory but survival percentages were low. It was mostly due to failing to choose afforestation areas that are appropriate for the species. According to the results of the evaluations about the growing performance and survival percentages of the trees in Douglas fir, it was concluded that forming wide afforestation areas using this species in the region was almost impossible.
