ones. Some of the tree species at Fanling include banyan, many of which are over 80 years old, eucalyptus (there are some particularly special examples of these by the right side of the 16th tee of the Old Course) as well as indigenous camphor trees, acacias, ironwoods, Norfolk pines and paper barks. In 2015, the club launched educational guided tours for local schools and organizations on specially designed tree trails over the three courses in Fanling. Besides, the club also announced to join the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Programme for Golf. Wildlife and Ecology The Fanling golf course is around 44% forested, the rest consisting of road and fairway. The vegetation cover includes 75 hectares of mature lowland secondary forest, an extremely rare habitat in Hong Kong. The forest's age as well as its position on low-lying terrain has led to a high level of biodiversity. A survey from the Asia Ecological Consultants in 2018 logged over 150 bird species, over 30 reptiles and amphibians and 16 species of mammals. Collared scops owl, Pallas's squirrel, bamboo pit viper and common rose butterflies are commonly seen depending on the season and time of day. The golf course is home to several internationally endangered species such as Chinese pond turtle, Chinese swamp cypress，and freshwater crab species Somanniathelphusa zanklon which is endemic to Hong Kong and is threatened by the development of the course. Tournaments hosted Hong Kong Open, 1959 to present Colgate-Hong Kong Open, 1976 Johnnie Walker Classic, 1990 Dunhill Cup – Asian Zone Eisenhower and Espirito Santo Trophies, 1984 Queen Sirikit Cup 1990, 2001 & 2015 Ageas HKPGA Championship 2014 Hong Kong Ladies Open, 2015 Charity events Many charities hosted fundraising golf days at the club's courses, including the Community Chest, Po Leung Kuk and the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. For example, in 2014 alone, golf events held at the Club raised over HK$11.5 million for charity. Additionally, since 1987 the club has hosted its own charity golf event – the annual Cup of Kindness. Money was raised for the Sheung Shui-based Home of Loving Faithfulness, a residential care home for mentally and physically disabled young people; the Buddhist Po Ching Home for the Aged Women in Fanling and the Heep Hong Society, a multi-faceted children's training and therapy charity with centres across Hong Kong.
