"Clearing is one of the prime communications and teaching tools for environmental educators in the Northwest. Each edition offers clear, concise class lessons that teachers can easily use, as well as research on making environmental education effective for students. Clearing articles have stimulated many educators to examine their work, to borrow good ideas from innovative programs in other parts of the nation, and to share their insights and experiences regionally."
