Misc: Armenia Tree Project (ATP), is based in Woburn and Yerevan,
conducts environmental projects in Armenia's impoverished and
deforested zones and seeks support in advancing its
reforestation mission. More than 5,700,000 trees have been
planted and restored, and hundreds of new jobs have been
created for Armenians in seasonal tree-related programs. ATP
works to enhance Armenia's economic and social development by
mobilizing resources to fund reforestation. These new trees
provide vitally needed food, wood, environmental benefits, and
opportunities for economic growth. Our goal is to assist the
Armenian people through the use of trees that will improve
their standard of living and protect the global environment.
Anahit Gharibyan has been with Armenia Tree Project since its
establishment in 1994. For 16 years she was the manager of
ATP's Community Tree Planting (CTP) program. Because of her
efforts, ATP's CTP program has planted and rejuvenated
1,026,857 trees at 842 sites all over Armenia and Artsakh. In
2010 Anahit moved to the United States to continue her work for
ATP as Western Region Community Outreach Manager. She also
promotes ATP through Building Bridges program connecting
Diaspora Armenian students with their environmental heritage in
more than 70 California schools.
Sarah Hayes found her connection to Armenia when she served as
an Environmental Education U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in Sisian
from 2005-2007. During her service, she secured a grant through
United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to
plant trees with students. After her two year Peace Corps
service, Sarah relocated to Boston where she began working with
Armenia Tree Project and is now ATP's West Coast Operations
Manager in Los Angeles.
The event is free of charge to the public
