ACTION UPDATE

Picture
 The Outdoor Circle was instrumental in saving the 16 monkeypod trees at
Manoa Marketplace that were slated to be removed or moved to another location.
We were pleased to that the revised plan by Alexander & Baldwin retained the beauty, integrity and splendor
of these trees in accordance with community wishes. 
​Thank you for your interested in supporting the community and these magnificent trees.
Picture
​Over the past century, the Outdoor Circle has planted many of the trees that cool the air and caress our lovely islands. Did you know we established the first plant nursery at Kapi‘olani Park in 1918, which we gave to the City of Honolulu in 1946, and which still operates ​today as a repository source for our city street trees?

Read about some of our other accomplishments: TOC Highlights.

Here are just a few projects and areas of advocacy your gift will help support:

We will continue to assist the 11 branches of The Outdoor Circle as they work to maintain trees, fight illegal signage, and promote programs in their own communities. 

We will continue to preserve the natural beauty of Hawai‘i by opposing anything that would allow for the visual desecration of our islands and view planes.

We will continue our work with with various partners to map trees on public lands with the goal of ensuring that tree-scapes and green-scapes are preserved and enhanced.

 We plan to continue our project with Google Trekker to do “virtual mapping” of many sites of scenic beauty and interest in order to promote a better appreciation of ​our islands’ natural beauty.

Thank you for helping us keep Hawai‘i clean, green and beautiful.
We cannot do it without You!

Testimonials
"I joined and donated not just because I support your organization's mission and work, but also because I have personally benefitted from the organization's work. I work as a tour guide and visitors consistently mention how lovely the trees are, and how wonderful it is to not see billboards.

I was also the beneficiary of a one-time scholarship award while studying at WCC. I got my degree in Arboriculture, and have gone on to use it both in my visitor industry life, as well as my work in human services."
