This year marks an exciting milestone for Keep Martin Beautiful as we proudly launched our very first Environmental Stewardship Scholarship!

This scholarship was established to encourage and support the next generation of environmental champions in our community and beyond.  

We are excited to recognize two exceptional high school students, Cameron Burke and Sarah Ladd, as our inaugural recipients. Both have shown remarkable passion and initiative in sustainability and environmental stewardship. 

We’re eager to continue this new tradition in the years to come, supporting even more young leaders committed to making a difference for our planet.

The International Coastal Cleanup is one of Martin County’s most anticipated and impactful environmental events. Each year, on a single day, many volunteers unite to remove litter and debris from shorelines, beaches, and waterways. It’s a fun day of action that highlights the issue of ocean pollution and encourages a long-term commitment to protecting our environment. Stay tuned for more information about this year's ICC cleanup!
