Read the latest article from CLEARING on ADHD and Outdoor Education, written by IslandWood graduate student Greyson Lee.

Struggles in the classroom melt away in the outdoors.

Just because they're older, doesn't mean back issues of CLEARING are out of date. I just finished updating and revising the Fall 2016 issue, and was amazed at the number and variety of informative, entertaining, and useful articles that were in that issue. Look at the list of articles on the cover (and there's more inside!).

It may be 7 years old, but take another look at it. Flip through it. If you're a dedicated environmental educator, you may be surprised at what you find there.
