His course Insects and Human Affairs routinely drew enrollments exceeding 200 students. Students frequently praised his organization, course content and his personable, clear teaching style. His colleagues honored his achievements with several nominations for teaching awards. One such nomination said, "Our department views Professor McClelland as the consummate teacher.

In 1994 he and SueDee moved to the small town of Clio, in Plumas County in the Sierra Nevada mountains. There, he created an English garden. He found it a challenge to find plants to bloom from March to November at an altitude of 4, 400 feet. His garden was admired by residents and tourists.
During his retirement, he traveled extensively to the tropics at least once each year. He also took up watercolor painting. His subject matter included scenes in Africa and other places he had traveled. His last five paintings were of his daughter, Alison, his son, Hugh, and his two younger daughters, Alekka and Stassi.
His last painting was of his wife, SueDee, standing in a pastoral English scene, completed the day before he died.
In November of 2003, he and his wife moved to the University Retirement Community in Davis. He spent the year compiling his memoir and completing a detailed genealogy for his family.
