Cultural Education at the Wetlands Institute
The Wetlands Institute offers on and off-site learning opportunities for students of every age, including Field Trips, Speaker Programs, on-site tours and exhibits at organizations and school. An Institute Naturalist is able to bring live animals and fascinating facts to any school for “hands on” learning.
The Institute offers a variety of Field Trips and Group Programs that are tailored to fit student and state curriculum standards including, Wetlands Ecology, Barrier Beach Ecology, Horesehoe Crabs and Shorebirds, Turtle Talk and more. All of the trips emphasize hands-on learning and the scientific method. The Wetlands believes children learn more from getting a little wet or muddy than from listening to a lecture inside.
Teacher Prep Materials are available and programming is core-curriculum-based.
