Armenia Tree Project, a non-profit program based in Watertown and Yerevan, conducts vitally important environmental projects in impoverished and deforested zones and seeks support in advancing its reforestation mission. Since 1994, ATP has made enormous strides in combating desertification in the biologically diverse but threatened Caucasus region. Over 2,000,000 trees have been planted and restored and thousands of jobs have been created.

%newline%ATP works to further Armenia's economic and social development by mobilizing resources to fund reforestation. These new trees provide food, wood, environmental benefits, and opportunities for economic growth. Our goal is to assist the Armenian people in using trees to improve their standard of living and protect the global environment. In so doing, we are guided by the need to promote self-sufficiency, aid those with the fewest resources first, and conserve the indigenous ecosystem.(more)
