Henry Wetzel

Founder, Teacher

Henry is the director of Foghorn Education Center. He aims to blend social and emotional experience with academic curiosity through his teaching, writing, and ongoing creation of the Foghorn summer camp.

From the time he was fifteen, Henry has held teaching and managing positions in environmental education and the arts. He has spoken at schools across the Pacific Northwest on multiple topics, from elementary introductions to marine biology to career-fair talks like Career Talk: 1000 Jobs in Tandem with Nature

His passion for interdisciplinary learning has led to research partnerships with fishermen, cartographers, historians, and scientists who have all worked to create the Foghorn curriculum: a centralized body of work on the Pacific Northwest’s history, ecology, and restoration. Inspired by nature at every turn, Henry aims to build a bridge between each of his students and the natural world.
