Martin County Road 714 - from the western Palm City I-95 exchange to State Road 710 - is known locally as the “Martin Grade,” and its tree canopy is one of the jewels of Florida's Treasure Coast. 

We were able to keep the trees from being bulldozed down in the 1990’s when the road was first paved, but the County has never taken the steps necessary to protect the trees in the face of the explosive growth in the region.

Help us save them again by having the Martin Grade designated a Scenic Highway!
