-
The Armenia Tree Project, a division of the Armenian Assembly of America, was founded in 1993 to further Armenia's economic and social development by mobilizing resources outside the country to fund reforestation. Since then we have planted over 263,000 trees, opened two tree nurseries, initiated a village-based fruit drying and distribution business, and have employed hundreds to renew Armenia's severely damaged forests. Our goal is to assist the Armenian people in using trees to improve their standard of living and protect the global environment. We are guided by the need to promote self-sufficiency, aid those with fewest resources first, and conserve the indigenous ecosystem.
