Sustainability at LCFCC
Green Pathways toward a Sustainable Future
Let’s work together. At LCFCC, we have the desire, the perfect setting and opportunity for you to participate in a greener future for generations to come.
Plant Trees and Plant Hope Today
As a participant in the United Nations Trillion Trees Program, La Cañada Flintridge Country Club kicked off its Plant for the Planet project in 2021 with the goal of planting 300+ trees on and around the club’s property. To date, we’ve registered 237 trees with Plant for the Planet, and raised our planting goal to 500 trees.
Our Plant for the Planet is only one piece of LCFCC’s overall Net-Zero sustainability project for the club. Trees can do a lot, but they can’t solve our climate emergency alone.
Over the next two years, we are working with Ecomotion consultants of Glendale to oversee carbon assessments and lay out a carbon-neutral pathway, including solar panels for all our electric use. The goal? Bring the LCF Country Club to net-zero carbon emissions.

Nothing Says Hope Like a Newly Planted Tree
We hope you are inspired to help us grow our ambitious planting project. Planting and maintaining a tree is expensive—each tree costs us over $250 and requires irrigation, pruning, and ongoing care.
We invite you, our friends, family, club members, guests, community, and brides and grooms, to help sponsor this project by giving to the LCFCC Plant for the Planet initiative.
When you sponsor a tree, you’ll receive:
- A beautiful certificate commemorating your gift
- Your name and dedication on our Giver’s Grove website page
- Your name on a commemorative plaque on the golf course
Multiply Your Impact Worldwide
Each tree you sponsor triggers our 15% donation to the Eden Reforestation Project, a worthy nonprofit that will multiply your impact and add to the U.N.’s Trillion Tree goal.
As of November 2022, we have planted 200+ beautiful trees around the La Cañada Flintridge Country Club’s property and triggered donations in excess of $300 to tree planting initiatives.
This season, we’ll be planting quite a few more native trees, including CA buckeye, CA black walnut, and the imperiled and majestic Engelmann Oak, a hyper-local species we’re proud to help preserve.

Why plant at LCF Country Club?
Why at LCFCC? Because we have the space and desire to plant trees. And we want to think globally and act locally for the climate.
Of course, there are many places the world over to plant trees. We’re just a little grove in the bigger forest, but each and every tree we plant represents hope for the future.
And your sponsorship of trees at LCFCC triggers our 15% donation to two tree-planting nonprofits—one global, the other local. Together, we’re making a difference.
