The Martin County School District has been named a Guy Harvey Conservation District for the 2025-2026 school year, a nod to its commitment to environmental education through teacher professional development, experiential learning, and environmental leadership.
The Guy Harvey Conservation Education Program invites educators, as well as schools and school districts by extension, to participate in regional professional development opportunities dedicated to environmental STEAM education.
After training in the program, participants become Guy Harvey Conservation (GHC) Educators, who are then empowered with recognition, knowledge, and resources they can share with students to foster environmental awareness and contribute to a sustainable future. The program offers supplies and grants for field trips, enabling GHC Educators to enhance their teaching and instill conservation values in students.
Open to all elementary, middle, and high school educators, the program includes all the materials, classroom supplies, and educational content they need to inspire and excite the next generation of stewards of ocean conservation.
Four schools in the district have been recognized as Guy Harvey Conservation Schools, including: Jensen Beach Elementary School, Jensen Beach High School, J.D. Parker Elementary School, and South Fork High School. Thirteen educators have earned the designation as Guy Harvey Conservation Educators, and nearly 40 more have completed the training.
