Home Runs for Trees, presented by Asplundh and a partnership with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS), is now in its 14th season.
For each home run hit by a Phillies player during the season, a tree will be planted in Philadelphia or the Greater Philadelphia area. Over 2,000 trees have been planted through Home Runs for Trees.
Local school gets Home Run for Trees special delivery
The Phanatic showed off his green thumb to students at Emlen Elementary School, who had a fun morning as they received a delivery of trees from the Phillies, PHS and Asplundh.
Trees can increase property values and retail sales, reduce energy costs, flooding, and crime rates, improve air and water quality, and enhance the overall health and quality of life for local residents.
