The Hōʻike o Haleakalā Curriculum was originally produced by the Hawaiʻi Natural History Association, Nā Kumu o Haleakalā, Haleakalā National Park, and The Nature Conservancy.
The curriculum is now housed, maintained, and promoted by the Maui Invasive Species Committee, a project of the University of Hawaiʻi-Pacific Cooperative Studies Unit.
