The seventh grade students from Yerevan’s Ohanyan School created this presentation about their trip to ATP’s nursery in Karin Village, where they learned about trees and Armenia’s environment.
The “Trees All Around Us” presentation was uploaded to this blog as part of ATP’s Building Bridges program launched in 2010 to connect Armenian students with their environmental heritage. This site was created so students and teachers in Armenia and the Diaspora can share resources like this and collaborate.
The children from the Ohanyan School had a chance to see the whole process of growing trees, from seed to an adult tree at the Karin Nursery. “It was amazing to see so many tree species like ash, poplar, maple, apricot, peach, quince, and pomegranate trees covered with juicy fruits,” one of the students exclaimed!
After a tour, the young “tree specialists” had a walk in their school backyard and did several measurements on tree height, age, and root diameter, and tried to identify the different types of trees.
The researchers found out that they have 10 apricot (the oldest one was about 20 years old), 5 plum, and 10 sweet cherry trees in their schoolyard. There were also many decorative trees and shrubs in the school garden, but no ash. Since the children liked ash very much, ATP promised to present an ash seedling to the group for planting this fall at the school!
