This study has as its purpose finding and presentation of the most effective ways of improving and protection of the embankments afferent to national road 17 – Tihuţa Gorge, perimeter situated in Bistriţa-Năsăud and Suceava counties. The main causes leading to the destruction of land are represented on the one hand by natural setting’s characteristics of the perimeter: uneven relief with high pitch, heavy textured soil and damp climate, and on the other hand by misuse of land and deforestation. The prerequisite for improving these downgraded lands are restoration of the vegetation and resonable use of it, prerequisite on which the choice of the improving actions and works is based on. The improving actions are: usage restrictions (grazing ban), exploitation rules, perimeter security, the installation of panels, and the improvement works are: phytoimproving measures (afforestation), soil preparation and improvement works (fertilization and amendation works), soil arrange works (draining). Afforestation is the main path to follow in downgraded land contention. The actual surface intended for afforestation from this perimeter Tihuţa-Colibiţa is 80% of downgraded lands from this perimeter.
