Community members were encouraged to submit an original design that captures the spirit of La Cañada Flintridge and reflects the theme “Together for 50 Years.” The City is proud and excited to share the fantastic logo designs from our local artists and designers of all ages.
50 Trees for 50 Years
To mark the City’s 50th Anniversary and celebrate environmental stewardship, La Cañada Flintridge is launching “50 Trees for 50 Years.”
This community initiative will plant 50 trees throughout the City over the course of the year. As part of the program, residents will have the opportunity to request one of the 50 trees to be planted in the public right-of-way in front of their home, helping grow the City’s urban forest while contributing to a lasting anniversary legacy.
The initiative will officially kick off during the LCF Earth & Arbor Day Sustainability Celebration on April 23 from 3-7:30 PM.
