Rooted in Collaboration

Our mission to bring Hawaii-based, bio-cultural science curriculum into Hawaiian classrooms would not be possible without our deep-rooted partnerships with schools, cultural practitioners, and conservation professionals across the state.
We are proud to partner with schools, cultural practitioners, and conservation professionals to build lasting relationships that bring Hawaii-based, bio-cultural science curriculum into Hawaiian classrooms.
