Forests
Large-scale forest restoration
In 2025, ATP planted 1,000,050 trees across more than 250 hectares in nine communities in the Lori, Shirak, and Kotayk regions. These forests represent years of preparation — from site selection and ecological planning to planting and long-term maintenance. Each site is developed in close collaboration with local communities to ensure ecological suitability and long-term sustainability.
Environmental & community impact
ATP’s forestry work directly supports rural livelihoods. In 2025, the program generated 506 seasonal jobs, providing more than 152 million AMD (over $400,000 USD) in income to rural households. Community members play an essential role in establishing and maintaining forests — improving tree survival rates while creating meaningful local “green” employment tied to environmental restoration.
Partners
ATP’s forestry program is strengthened through collaboration with leading international climate and development partners, enabling ATP to scale its restoration work and contribute to Armenia’s national climate adaptation goals.
Forest landscapes across Armenia
ATP’s forestry sites vary in scale and geography, but all share a common purpose: restoring Armenia’s forest cover, strengthening ecological systems, and building long-term resilience for communities and nature.

Urban Greening
Armenia Tree Project's Community Tree Planting program transforms public spaces into green, living environments — planting trees in schools, kindergartens, hospitals, parks, churchyards, cultural sites, and community spaces in both urban and rural areas. These projects improve local ecosystems, strengthen climate resilience, and create healthier, more livable environments while building long-term community ownership of green spaces.

Nurseries
ATP's nurseries are the foundation of all restoration work. Every forest, community planting, and landscape project begins here — with seeds collected in Armenia and carefully grown into healthy, climate-resilient trees. ATP operates four full-scale nurseries and more than 100 Backyard Nursery growers, a decentralized network that preserves native genetic diversity and ensures a continuous supply of locally adapted trees.

Environmental Education
ATP's Environmental Education program builds environmental awareness and practical skills among students, teachers, and communities nationwide. Through hands-on learning and direct engagement with nature, it fosters long-term responsibility for the environment and strengthens the next generation of environmental stewards.
