Armenia Tree Project and ClinChoice Plant 2,000 Trees on Earth Day

Celebrating 10 Years of ClinChoice Armenia with a Strong Commitment to Sustainability


In collaboration with Armenia Tree Project, ClinChoice has launched a large-scale tree planting initiative in honor of Earth Day and the 10th anniversary of ClinChoice’s Armenia office. The initiative reinforces the company’s commitment to advancing both human health and environmental sustainability.


The effort began with the planting of 50 trees in Semonian Park, near Ashtarak, and continued with the addition of 2,000 trees at the Lernanist afforestation site in the Kotayk Region. The project was made possible through the support of ClinChoice employees, local volunteers, and ATP.


The environmental benefits of the new plantings are expected to be long-lasting. Each mature tree can absorb 10–20 kilograms of carbon dioxide and generate up to 100 kilograms of oxygen annually, contributing to cleaner air, a more stable climate, and increased biodiversity in the region.


"With this initiative, our employees and our organization showed that we care not only about human health, but also about the health of our nature and our planet," Dr. Davit Abrahamyan, Managing Director of the ClinChoice Armenia office.


ClinChoice extends its appreciation to all employees who contributed, to the volunteers who took part in the planting, and to Armenia Tree Project for over three decades of impactful work.

 

This partnership with ATP continues the tradition established by CEO of ClinChoice Inc., Dr. John Balian, and his wife, Mrs. Sosi Balian. Their steadfast support of the organization since its founding 30 years ago has contributed to the planting of thousands of trees, an impact proudly recognized in ATP’s 2024 Annual Report.


“Every company that joins this effort helps build a unified movement toward a greener Armenia. Together, we are creating a legacy that benefits everyone,” said ATP’s Operations Director Rousanne Arustamyan.

As winter recedes, a new season of hope takes root in Armenia. In ATP’s tree nurseries, a quiet urgency fills the air as thousands of seedlings are carefully nurtured, each one a promise of renewal. The forestry team watches closely as the snow melts, knowing that the perfect window for planting is just around the corner. This year, Armenia Tree Project (ATP) will plant an astounding one million trees across Armenia. With this initiative, ATP will surpass a major milestone—9 million trees planted since its inception. To put that into perspective, this is enough to cover an area larger than 1,000 football fields. These plantings are not just about trees; they are about resilience, sustainability, and restoring Armenia’s natural heritage. The spring planting season kicks off in the villages of Bovadzor and Urasar in Lori, then expands to Tsaghkaber, Mets Sariar, Lernakert, and Pemzashen in Shirak, before concluding in Leranist in Kotayk. These regions have been carefully selected for their need for reforestation and their potential to thrive as part of Armenia’s green future. At the heart of this movement are the people who make it possible. Last year, 500 seasonal workers joined ATP’s efforts, many of whom return each year. This spring, 200 tree planters will take on the responsibility of planting half a million trees. Among them are cousins Marine and Armine Gogoryan from Lori, who have dedicated years to tree planting. “Planting trees is like planting hope,” says Marine. “We’ve seen forests rise where there was once nothing. It makes us believe in the future.” Their passion, alongside the tireless efforts of ATP’s forestry teams, has transformed barren lands into thriving forests. Looking back at past plantings—the Hrant Dink Memorial Forest, the Sose and Allen Forest, and the Koghes Forest—it’s clear how far this initiative has come. Once desolate landscapes are now home to lush, growing canopies, proof that long-term commitment yields extraordinary results. Yet, the urgency of reforestation in Armenia has never been greater. Climate change, deforestation, and the displacement of communities have intensified the need for green spaces. Forests act as natural shields against soil erosion, provide oxygen, and help regulate the climate. Every tree planted is a step toward a healthier, more sustainable Armenia. ATP’s mission is gaining recognition beyond Armenia. Environmental organizations worldwide have praised its reforestation model, and global conservation leaders are taking note. With continued support, the impact of these efforts will extend far beyond national borders. You can be part of this transformation. Whether by donating, volunteering, or spreading the word, every contribution helps secure Armenia’s green future. Help ATP plant the seeds of change together by visiting ArmeniaTree.org.
