This work concerned the occurrence of ancient coppice forests in the vicinity of Ketkovice. The survey was carried out in the cadastres of Rapotice, Sudice and Ketkovice. The field survey identified and evaluated both natural and historical features, from which a summary assessment of the site was subsequently made. The ratings were A - important ancient coppice forests, B - ancient coppice forests, C - false logs and then a number was added after the letter, either 1 (representation of coppice trees on 100% of the area), 2 (representation of coppice trees over 50%) and 3 (representation of coppice trees up to 50%). Thus, if the site is rated A1, it is the most valuable, and if C3, it is the least valuable. Individual trees or small groups of trees were also recorded as having a coppice origin. Subsequent work has converted the results into electronic form in the form of summary tables and, more importantly, maps produced in ArcMap, which graphically differentiate sites by importance. In total, there were 32 sites of coppice forests across the area. Their area was 46.14 ha. Most of them were located in the cadastre of Ketkovice municipality. Only three sites were found in the cadastre of Rapotice. All of them were assessed as ancient coppice forests. A total of 14 areas of coppice forest were found in the cadastral area of Sudice. Two of them were classified as non-native logged forests, ten as ancient coppice forests and two as important ancient coppice forests. A similar pattern was found in the Ketkovice area, where a total of 15 sites of coppice forest were identified. Two of these were assessed as significant ancient coppice forests, six as ancient coppice forests and the remaining seven as false logged forests.
