Sowing the seeds for a vibrant Armenia
Dear supporter,
As the year draws close, we reflect on the milestones achieved at Armenia Tree Project. It is with immense gratitude and excitement that we are approaching the 30th anniversary of ATP, Armenia’s leading environmental organization. Three decades of dedication, passion, and collaboration have transformed Armenia’s landscapes into thriving green spaces, and none of it would have been possible without supporters like you.
The heart of our mission lies in not only planting trees but also cultivating sustainable environments and supporting the communities that depend on them. Over the years, ATP has not only revitalized the environment, but has also provided economic opportunities, improved biodiversity, and enhanced the overall quality of life for the people of Armenia.
From the earliest saplings in 1994, with no nurseries and limited staff, we’ve been able to grow towering trees that now expand all over Armenia. In 1994, we planted 45,000 trees. In 2024, we anticipate planting 800,000. With your help, we’ve built four state-of-the-art nurseries, two environmental education centers, and can provide our staff of eighty local residents with full-time jobs, as well as job opportunities for over 150 villagers each year during our seasonal plantings.
Together we’ve:
- Planted 8 million trees all over Armenia and Artsakh since 1994
- Established 1,500 hectares of new forest in Armenia
- Greened more than 1,450 Community Tree Planting sites
- Distributed fruit and nut trees to thousands of households
- Expanded the award winning Backyard Nursery micro enterprise program to include 150 families
- Provided temporary employment to hundreds of rural villagers during the spring and fall planting seasons
- Helped farmers in Artsakh to grow food during the ten month blockade
- Educated tens of thousands of students in Armenia and the diaspora about the environment and how to care for it
ATP has been at the forefront of environmental change and community empowerment. We invest in the communities we serve by providing sustainable resources, creating jobs, educating the future about the environment, and fostering a sense of ownership and pride in preserving Armenia’s environment. As we approach our 30th year, we are filled with pride for what we’ve accomplished, yet the need for your support remains as crucial as ever.
In our upcoming 30th year, we aspire to reach even greater heights. The challenges facing our planet demand that we not only maintain our current efforts, but also expand and innovate. We continue finding cutting-edge solutions to address emerging environmental issues, and providing efficient means to our staff and community members. This is where your generosity comes into play. Our anniversary is not just a celebration of our past accomplishments, but a call to assist us for the future of our homeland.
Your support has been the driving force behind our success. As we embark on the next decade, we are reaching out to you to continue standing with us in our mission. Your donation will contribute to:
- Expanding tree planting initiatives
- Community empowerment
- Innovation and adaption
Thank you for your unwavering commitment to Armenia Tree Project. Together, we are not just planting trees; we are sowing the seeds of a sustainable and vibrant future for Armenia. We look forward to seeing you at our different 30th anniversary celebrations in 2024. Wishing you a joyful holiday season and prosperous New Year!
