The Maui Invasive Species Committee offers teacher development workshops centered on the Hōʻike o Haleakalā Curriculum. Offered at least twice a year to traditional and non-traditional educators, these workshops feature guest speakers, teacher/student resources, and field excursions/
Four Maui Mauka Conservation Awareness Trainings (MMCAT) are offered each year by staff from the Maui Invasive Species Committee, East Maui Watershed Partnership, and Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project. The goal of these trainings is to connect tourism professionals with conservation professionals to create a mutually beneficial relationship in nature-based tourism.
