Phanatic and PHS volunteers unload and distribute trees for community tree planting

On Tuesday morning, the Phillie Phanatic, Phillies Ballgirls and dozens of volunteers with the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society were at the Philabundance warehouse in Roxborough to unload and distribute 950 trees for this weekend’s massive community planting.

Several trees were tagged with names and images of the Phillies’ top home run hitters in 2026, part of the team’s Home Runs for Trees program, presented in partnership with PHS and supported by Aslpundh. For every Phillies home run, a tree is planted in the Greater Philadelphia region. Since the program began, 2,643 trees have been planted through this partnership.

Led by PHS, the tree-planting initiative helps create and expand the essential tree canopy in neighborhoods across the Philadelphia area, promoting healthier and greener communities.
