We collaborated with the AUA Acopian Center for the Environment and Armenia Tree Project (ATP) to address deforestation through successful tree growth in Armenia. We researched and conducted interviews on ideal seedling growth conditions, greenhouse structures, material availability, and biogas digesters for CO2 supplementation. From these results, we proposed feasible greenhouse designs and recommended ventilation, insulation, heating and irrigation additions for successful seedling growth within ATP’s Backyard Nurseries Program.
