Environmental Education
Learning through experience
The program is based on experiential learning that connects classroom knowledge with real environmental action. Students and teachers take part in outdoor learning, tree planting, field activities, and community projects that deepen understanding of ecosystems and environmental responsibility — building both knowledge and a lasting connection to nature.
From learning to action
Each year, thousands of students across Armenia participate. A defining feature is its direct connection to field-based work: activities take place in ATP’s education centers, in urban and rural schools, and at community planting and greening sites nationwide. Participants move beyond the classroom into tree planting and greening projects — so education translates into real, visible environmental impact.
Environmental Education Centers
ATP operates dedicated centers that serve as hubs for hands-on learning, teacher training, summer camps, and community engagement. Two key sites — Karin and Margahovit — serve as the Michael & Virginia Ohanian Environmental Education Centers, named after early and longtime supporters.

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.
