Story

Join PHS in planting 2,000 trees in Philadelphia and southeastern Pennsylvania by supporting the PHS 2020 More Trees Please campaign.

If Philadelphia increased its tree canopy to cover 30% of its streets, it could prevent hundreds of premature deaths each year, according to a groundbreaking scientific study.

Philadelphia currently only has 20% tree coverage, with some neighborhoods having less than 5% coverage. That means hotter temperatures, more run-off pouring pollutants into our waterways, and more lives lost.

PHS's Tree Tenders program is working to change that. Each planting season, we work with more than 60 community groups to plant and care for trees in the Philadelphia region.

By supporting the PHS 2020 More Trees Please campaign and helping us reach our $30,000 fundraising goal, your generosity will directly support our work to plant and care for 2,000 trees ensuring a healthier, greener future for our region.

About the charity

PHS uses horticulture to advance the health and well-being of the Greater Philadelphia Region. By gardening for the greater good, we create healthy living environments, increase access to fresh food, expand economic opportunity, and build meaningful social connections.
