"AgTEC is an example of the creative, progressive environmental thinking that we desperately need in Martin County. For 20 years, I�ve worked to protect wildlife and their wild places while educating people of all ages. I�ve been out to Sunrise Groves�it is a dying citrus grove with little environmental value or habitat for wildlife. Yet King Ranch has created a campus that incorporates extensive environmental restoration, preservation and water quality improvements that are truly commendable. As I tell our kids during educational programs: growth and change will happen. We don�t have a choice in that. Our choice comes in planning what kind of change it�s going to be."
