It's no surprise that since the launch of TreePhilly, they've already provided over 15,ooo trees considering the benefits. According to the Arbor Day Foundation, "Trees can add value to your home, help cool your home and neighborhood, break the cold winds to lower your heating costs, and provide food for wildlife."
