North Shore Community Land Trust: Doug Cole
Oahu’s North Shore draws people to it from all over the world, and this widespread appeal can be both a blessing and a curse… It’s the mission of the North Shore Community Land Trust to remind us that we live near one of the world's last remaining wild coastlines near a major metropolitan area -- and it’s incumbent on us to protect it. Doug Cole is the organization’s executive director, and he joined us this morning by phone.
