THE WETLANDS INSTITUTE recently kicked off the 2020-2021 season of its Nature Education for Homeschool Students and Teachers (NEHST) program. For nearly two decades, The Wetlands Institute has provided homeschoolers with engaging learning experiences that immerse them in science and nature, and encourage exploration and discovery. Last year, the Institute restructured the NEHST program, expanding the curriculum into three semesters -- Autumn, Winter, and Spring. Each semester includes three monthly lessons that build upon the semester's theme, and each monthly lesson includes classroom instruction, outdoor activities, scientific experiments and exploration, and related at-home extension activities that are ideal for getting the whole family involved in a world of discovery.
