My Forest Armenia | SPRING PLANTING 2025 HAS STARTED

This year, spring came to our afforestation areas exceptionally late. This is the fifth spring planting and the one we started the latest in our history. We began to plant in earnest on April 22. We had two false starts on April 11, and April 18, but we had to stop because heavy rains and even snow came back. It is in full swing now, and between 120 and 150 workers come every day.

Tsaghkunk - our first project in the Gegharkunik region

We started in Tsaghkunk, Gegharkunik region, which is nearer Yerevan and therefore easier to access.. The elevation is high, ranging between 2000 and 2200 m. We will be able to plant a few different species of trees and shrubs like pine, oak, wild apple and wild pear.The soil is good with more clay content than in Lori. However, this makes digging a bit more difficult after rainy days. This is a new region for us, and we have hired people from local communities to plant.

On April 18, Mr. Eric de Muynck, the Ambassador of Belgium to Armenia, as well as other donors, joined us to plant the first trees of the Belgian-Armenian forest. The area, covering 51 ha, is picturesque and wild, and a short, beautiful hike awaits those who have not come in 4x4 cars. Only about an hour away from the capital, it will become a favorite for everyone with its water streams and velvety fields! Lernajur IV - the best hidden gem of the valley

This spring, we started the planting works in the farthest area of the Lernajur valley - Lernajur IV, that covers an area of 140 ha. We had identified this area already in 2023, and appreciated the great soil and climatic conditions - the area is literally made for forests. However, because of its remote location, the access road is long and was in bad condition, so we had to do quite a bit of road renovation, including bridging some small streams. At the same time, it’s quite high in altitude - between 1900 and 2300 m, and with its Northern slopes, snow remained a long time. We started planting here only on April 22. Our regular team of Lori tree planters is up and ready - we have between 12 and 15 teams planting between 12,000 to 18,000 trees every day!

Let us hope that we will be able to continue for 10 days, so that we may plant a maximum amount of trees.
