•    15 hectares on the slopes near Yerablur,
•    7 hectares in Nork’s gardens,
•    1 hectare in Avan,
•    2.7 hectares in “Paros” forest zone.
The remaining areas are parks and gardens.
85 km of irrigation system have been built and renovated, and the tree survival rate has reached 94%.

59 rotten, old and damaged trees have been removed from Melik Adamyan Street, and in their place, 82 spherical catalpa trees have been planted. These trees are widely used in urban greening. They grow well in sunny or semi-shaded areas, are resistant to different soil conditions, are disease-resistant, and do not cause allergic reactions.

The project to declare the fourth section of the circular park as an area of priority for reconstruction has already been discussed once in the government at the ministerial committee meeting. Based on the suggestions and comments raised, the project is in the phase of revision. In parallel, to efficiently organize the process of alienating the property in the area, the “Yerevannakhaght” company has carried out new measurements of the existing property to align them with the existing schemes in the certificates.
