Armenia Tree Project

ATP’s mission is to assist the Armenian people in using trees to improve their standard of living and protect the global environment. In doing so, we are guided by the need to promote self-sufficiency, aid those with the fewest resources first, and conserve the indigenous ecosystem. We continue to plant with hope for the future, provide economic opportunities and economic security to our people, help to stabilize border villages, and preserve and enrich our country’s environment.

We must keep going. Now more than ever, we must focus our energies on rebuilding, preserving, and enriching our country. Our collective efforts strengthen Armenia’s security and the well-being of its people.
