Because of you , our supporters, TOC has an impressive list of achievements to show for the past 100 years of work. From banning unsightly billboards to protecting Exceptional Trees, and everything in between, Hawai‘i’s oldest, locally grown advocacy group has accomplished a lot to improve and enhance our unique ‘aina, such as:

– Joining the lawsuit against the City for the proposed Honolulu Rail Transit System to address the project’s inadequate Environmental Impact Statement;
– Helping enact and implement the Exceptional Tree Act;
– Protecting hundreds of trees of unnecessary destruction;
– Restoring Mauka-to-Makai view planes in the heart of Waikiki;
– Supporting the “Complete Streets Initiative” to design roadways, with all users in mind – making our communities more livable and safe,
– Upholding Hawai`i’s sign laws from modern-day challenges, like aerial signs, and
– Helping establish and protect public nature parks, native dry land forests, and urban forest areas.

This centennial year we planted trees, gave away and sold countless plants, educated our students about stewarding their environment, and saved important, mature trees from unnecessary removal. Next year in many ways will be no different. TOC will always work to keep Hawai`i clean, green and beautiful. We will be ever-vigilant over the Public Lands Development Corporation, advocate for tree planting and preservation, and will enforce the sign laws.

But in other ways, 2013 marks a new start for TOC. We are streamlining operations, strengthening connections between our islands, and proactively engaging decision-makers impacting the quality of our lives. To enhance our programs, we will reinvigorate our 10-branch network across the islands and expand our partnerships with others seeking complementary goals to protect and preserve what we all love about Hawai‘i.
