Currently Yerevan Municipality is getting ready for autumn tree planting. Taking into account that the soil in this area was of poor quality it was decided to fulfill the process by the trench method. The soil was very stony and it was rather hard to dig out special trenches. After having dug the trenches specialists fill back the stones and then cover them with high-quality earth. The trenches also serve for using rain waters and saving irrigation waters.

The issues related to environment protection and challenges of climate changes were discussed during the meting of Yerevan Mayor Hrachya Sargsyan with COP26 (UN Climatic Change Conference) Regional Ambassador for Europe, Central Asia, Turkey and Iran Mr. David Moran. The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United Kingdom to Armenia H.E. Mr. John Patrick Gallagher was present at the meeting as well.
