evs Botanical Garden

The organization has hosted international volunteers for more than 5 years now, the project hosted international summer workcamps, hosted Long-term volunteers. The international experience of a volunteer gives an interesting and valuable input to work of the gardens. The fact that an international volunteer speaks a different language, and comes from a different culture brings new live to the garden. New ideas regarding activities are more than welcome. We wish that a volunteer develops an own project, according to his/her interest. Nowadays the most important problem is the preservation of biological diversity and helping the Botanical Garden in their main activities: • Protection and recreation of Armenian and world plant biodiversity in Botanical Gardens of Armenia • Investigation and protection of the flora of Armenia • Conservation of rare and endemic flora species of Armenia in ex situ conditions • Greenery planting in urban areas, settlements and industrial plants • Conservation and reproduction of alpine forest ecosystems in Armenia • Rehabilitation of specific diversity of forests • Conservation and rehabilitation of elite plant species in Yerevan Botanic Garden • Participation in creation of specially protected areas • Projects to combat desertification.

Main tasks of the volunteer will be to give assistance to workers of National Botanical Garden of Yerevan in variety of environmental maintenance projects: taking care of spaces of the Garden, clearing the paths, taking out the weeds, cultivating the trees, collecting the seedlings and cleanness of the territory etc. Besides the volunteers will carry out irrigation works together with the staff of the Botanical Garden.
