The evaluation methods as well as aspects of monetary and non-monetary evaluation of cultural services of natural ecosystems in the cities is analysed using relevant research methods. Empirical research completed in four Lithuanian cities revealed the possibilities of harmonization of different research methods for evaluation of cultural services of natural ecosystems.
