The present and future of the Rossonsky district is connected with the natural potential of the region.
First of all, it is the availability of forest resources. The forest cover of the district is 63%. 138.4 thousand hectares of forest fund lands are covered with forest.
The area is included in the group of valuable coniferous species promising for the organization of logging.
Stocks of mature coniferous stands are more than 1.5 million cubic meters. meters (pine - 1349.7 thousand m3, spruce - 210.8 thousand m3).
Stocks of damp wood of mature and overmature plantations of soft hardwoods:
- birch - 830.3 thousand m3;
- aspen - 134.8 thousand m3;
- gray alder - 481.7 thousand m3;
- black alder - 184.1 thousand m3;

The annual allowable cutting area for the main use is 151 thousand m3. Including:
- for coniferous forestry - 61.5 thousand m3,
- for softwood - 89.5 thousand m3.
- Suitable for tapping 5308 ha of resin with an average annual use of 528 ha.
The forests of the region are rich in berries, mushrooms, technical and medicinal raw materials.
Possible annual harvesting volumes for berries is 13 tons, including:
- blueberries - 10 tons;
- cranberries - 2 tons;
- lingonberries - 0.5 t;
- blueberries - 0.5 t.

45 thousand hectares, or 29.5% of the forest fund lands are occupied by reserves of republican significance.
On the territory of the state forest fund, northern bird species (capercaillie, white-browed thrush, boreal owl) are found in large numbers, there are single nesting sites in Belarus of relic waterfowl: black-throated diver and large merganser. 10 species of birds and 18 species of wild plants are included in the Red Book.

The balance stock of gravel-sand material of the Voronino deposit is 310 thousand cubic meters. meters. The extracted gravel and sand resources are used for the production of concrete, mortars, and road construction.
For the prospective use of the peat and sapropel reserves available in the region as a raw material base for the needs of sanatorium-and-spa institutions (as sources of therapeutic mud), special studies are required to study the qualitative composition of peat.
The area is characterized by a fairly high level of water supply. Water resources include 192 lakes with an area of 8 thousand hectares (hereinafter referred to as ha), the Drissa River with tributaries of the Svolno, Nishcha, Neshcherda, and other rivers. There are many springs in the area, one of which is Lazarava Krynitsa, which is a hydrological monument of nature.

Available water resources are sufficient to meet current and future water needs. The lake recreational fund is important for the development of water and ecological tourism. A feature of the region is a significant area of protected natural areas. Two landscape reserves of republican significance - "Sinsha" and "Krasny Bor" occupy 47.6 thousand hectares.
The reserve Mezhevskaya ozovaya ridge covers an area of 111.7 hectares. The importance of unique recreational resources is increased due to the absence of radioactive contamination in the region. In addition to wood, the forests of the region are rich in berries, mushrooms, technical and medicinal raw materials.
The total area of agricultural land is 26.1 thousand hectares, arable land - 13.5 thousand hectares, forested land - 129 thousand hectares (forested area - 74.3 percent).
The number of the living population is 8523 people, of which 4581 people live in the settlement. Rossony, 3942 thousand people - rural population. The population employed in the economy of the Rossony district is 3304 people.
