The Outdoor Circle (TOC) is the state’s oldest and most respected environmental preservation organization (501c3 non-profit), founded in 1912, whose mission is to keep Hawai'i clean, green and beautiful for future generations through community improvement projects, public education, and advocacy. The Lani-Kailua Outdoor Circle (LKOC) was established as a Branch of The Outdoor Circle in 1948.
As a volunteer-based organization, TOC, and its eleven Branches statewide, from Kauai to Hawaii Island, has played a vital role in preserving Hawaii's natural beauty by ridding our state of billboards in 1927, coordinating street tree planting programs, advocating for the placement of all utilities underground, preserving open space, advocating for more parks, and educating Hawaii's youth about trees, litter and the environment.

For over 70 years, LKOC has been dedicated to beautifying Kailua by planting and maintaining trees and landscaping in public spaces, performing community cleanup activities, advocating for environmental causes, and educating the next generation to be good environmental stewards, all of which have had a positive impact on the livability and sustainability of our community. This is our mission, to foster stewardship of the legacy we have all been bequeathed. LKOC maintains vigilance over these areas and endeavors to work with government entities and community groups to coordinate beautification, environmental, and educational outreach projects throughout the Windward side of Oahu.

The Lanikai ~ Kailua area is home to some of the most beautiful beaches and spectacular vistas in the world. It is also a thriving bedroom community with a small-town feel, with no hotels, and limited commercial activity. The history of Kailua is one of great historical, cultural, and archeological significance to Hawaii. Once a place of streams, fish ponds and taro and rice growing fields, the area was changed forever when the Pali Tunnels opened in 1960, but the dedication and commitment of our group to preserving and enhancing the natural beauty around us has not wavered for over 70 years! |
