Armenia Tree Project started with a simple goal:
to work toward a greener, healthier future for Armenia
Every day, we continue this mission by restoring Armenia’s tree cover, empowering communities, and fostering environmental stewardship for generations to come.
Our Story
Armenia Tree Project (ATP), a non-profit organization based in Boston, United States and Yerevan, Armenia focuses on greening Armenia’s forests and communities, while also creating socioeconomic opportunities and providing environmental education in support of this work.
Over the past 30 years, we have planted over 9 million trees and shrubs in forests, school yards, and sites of cultural significance, which remove an estimated 100,000 tons of C02 annually.
Today, ATP has a full-time staff of 80 people in Armenia, manages four state-of-the-art tree nurseries, oversees two educational centers, and offers close to 500 seasonal work opportunities for local residents. Through its Environmental Education Program, ATP has reached over 110,000 students and teachers across Armenia.
Our Work
Our work starts in commercial-scale nurseries and in our social microenterprise backyard tree farms. We grow and nurture native species seedlings, then transplant them across Armenia’s forests and communities.
Along the way, we engage thousands of students a year in our environmental education programs and support social enterprises for people from marginalized communities, including forcibly displaced persons from Artsakh.
“When the roots are deep, there is no reason to fear the wind.”
