In Armenia, trees are more than trees.
They are witnesses. Testaments. Living roots that carry the weight of memory and the promise of rebirth.

For 30 years, Armenia Tree Project has planted not just forests, but futures, restoring landscapes, strengthening communities, and honoring a history marked by loss and resilience. And this May, we will reach a milestone that speaks to the soul of our mission: the planting of our 9 millionth tree.

This moment isn’t just a number.
It’s a declaration.
That despite centuries of adversity, from genocide to displacement to ecological threats, Armenians choose to grow. To endure. To reimagine the future, one tree at a time.

The tree we’ll plant is a Sosi, a native plane tree revered in Armenian culture for its strength, shade, and symbolism. It’s the tree a family gathers beneath, the one that stands tall through storm and sun. To plant it now is to say to the world:
We are still here. And we are still growing.

We invite you to be there when history is planted.
From May 14–20, ATP will host a powerful week in Armenia to commemorate 30 years of lasting change. You’ll visit nurseries and schools, meet the villagers and students whose lives have been transformed, and take part in the ceremonial planting of the 9 millionth tree at Semonian Park. Together, we’ll honor the past and plant a future.

Because in Armenia, even the soil remembers. But it also reaches toward what’s next.

Don’t just read about it, come plant it with us.
