In the fall of 2009\, volunteers will plant these seedlings in coastal areas\, reclaiming them for nature. The volunteers organizing the project locally include Osvaldo Monson\, Meg Whitmer\, Janeen Mason\, Linda Fassano and Edie Widder.\n\nThe Reclamation Project’s mangrove reforestation and volunteer effort will be implemented through the Ocean Research & Conservation Association (ORCA)\, our local environmental partner. ORCA is dedicated to the protection and restoration of marine ecosystems and the species they sustain through the development of innovative technologies and science based conservation action.\n\nAs local project coordinator\, ORCA’s Meg Whitmer will bring volunteers together to help implement the project in Florida’s Martin\, St. Lucie and Indian River counties.\n\nFor more information on how you can volunteer locally\, please contact Meg Whitmer at mwhitmer@teamorca.org or at ORCA’s Walton Scrub located at 10809 South Indian River Drive\, Fort Pierce\, FL. The phone is 772-807-5962.\n\n\nABOUT THE ARTS COUNCIL’s ROLE\n\nThe Treasure Coast Reclamation Project is sponsored by the Arts Council serving Martin County as part of a broader initiative to establish the treasure coast region as a center for the practice of ecoart. The proposal is for collaboration between the Arts Council and the South Florida Environmental Art Project to organize two related events.\n\nThe first is a one-day conference showcasing highly successful ecoart projects and accompanied by the showing of short films and videos. The intention is to offer Martin County audiences an opportunity to learn about the emergence of ecoart as a practice and its importance to the sensitive environment that surrounds us.\n\nThe second event proposed is intended to ensue within a couple of months of the first. It is designed as a forum for selected region-resident professional artists interested in pursuing ecoart as a new creative direction.\n\nThe Arts Council believes co-sponsorship of these events will help to establish a serious and intellectually challenging discourse in our county about fruitful art-science collaborations that can help engage our communities in responsible environmental stewardship.\n\n\n\nArts Council serving Martin County\nLocation 80 E Ocean Blvd\nStuart\, Florida 34994\nPhone 561-287-6676\nFax 561-288-5301\nEmail mcca@martinarts.org\n\nhttp://www.martinarts.org/\n\nArts Council of Stuart and Martin County is sponsored in part by the Florida Department of State\, Division of Cultural Affairs\, Florida Arts Council\, City of Stuart and the Martin County Board of County Commissioners.
