Abstract
Cliff and some other seasoned veterans see no problem with the multiplication of terms being used to describe the many shapes and forms of environmental and outdoor education and view it "as a sign of health and great opportunity." Others worry about the splintering effect of so many differently named attempts to foster an ecological conscience and commitment to environmental stewardship in a critical mass of humans. What does our movement lose when the general public lacks understanding and a clear vision of what we do? Does confusion about the meaning and objectives of each other's programs hinder collaborative efforts on the part of professionals in our field?
