Synopsys continues to collaborate with Armenia Tree Project to plant forests in Armenia


Since 2006, with the help of ATP Synopsys volunteers have planted more than 16,000 trees in Yerevan and the regions of Armenia.


This year Synopsys Armenia and ATP celebrated the Labor Day with planting forest in Kotayk Region. On May 1st, 2025, more than 100 volunteers, their families and friends gathered to plant 2000 pine and birch trees and expand the forest established last year in honor of Synopsys Armenia’s 20th Anniversary. Through this long-term relationship Synopsys and ATP have planted over 18,000 trees together. The bare hill in Lernanist was purple due to volunteers wearing “Synopsys for Good” T-shirts.


“I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for organizing this fun and impactful event. It was a great learning experience for our child, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute”, said one of the volunteers, Karine Vardanyan, Sr. Staff Software Engineer at Synopsys.


“We are very grateful to our partner ATP for the successful partnership that helps us to make Armenia greener and more sustainable,” said Gayane Markosyan, the PR & CSR Lead at Synopsys Armenia. "It's so rewarding seeing our volunteers bring their children to plant trees, instilling a spirit of volunteerism and environmental preservation into our future generations”.


“As ATP approaches our 9millionth tree planting on March 18th we want to not only plant more trees, but instill in all segments of Armenian society the importance of environmental preservation and giving back. Our corporate partnerships like our strong relationship with Synopsyis are just one of the ways we instill these principles. Our environmental education program which has taught over 100,000 students to date and our Community Tree Planting program which plants trees at schools, hospitals, parks and other public areas are two other ways we make trees part of your personal story”, - said ATP Director of Operations 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.
