Ohanyan College Students Investigating Dilijan Forest in Armenia's Tavoush Region



This film is about our visit to the Tavoush region in northern Armenia. Our school-teachers helped us to recognize the smallest soil creatures of the woods and we collected some of them. Besides, we understood the structure of the forest and found out that there are at least three levels of plants growing there. We were surprised to learn that there are very easy methods to measure the age and height of a tree.

Our teachers from Ohanyan College helped us explore the biodiversity of the forest and to value it as a whole ecosystem! It was a happy day and a great chance to be closer to Nature and to understand the Forest as a live organism with hundreds of habitats living together in peace and harmony. We are looking forward to having a joint trip to Dilijan Forest with our American friends in coming future as part of ATP's Building Bridges program :-)
