The environment was a priority throughout Guidryâs 45-year journalism career. During the 1980s, he undertook a âSaving the Bayâ series, writing more than 50 editorials on the importance of cleaning and protecting Tampa Bay, advocating for measures such as the Surface Water Management Improvement (SWIM) legislation and the selection of Tampa Bay for the National Estuary Program. He raised alarms over proposals to build a marina and an electric plant on pristine sections of the Bay. Guidry vigorously championed land preservation efforts throughout the years, including the Hillsborough County Environmental Land Acquisition and Protection Program (ELAPP), Preservation 2000, Florida Forever, and the Florida Land and Water Legacy Amendment. The University of South Florida graduate consistently defended pollution controls and responsible planning and emphasized the economic payoff of resource protection. His writings won numerous journalism awards. He also was honored for the environmental impact of his work. He was chosen as the inaugural recipient of Hillsborough County's Theodore Roosevelt Hillsborough Forever Conservation Award given for advocating on behalf of the county's natural resources. Among the other honors are the Hillsborough Chapter of the League of Women Voters' Sydney and Thalia Potter Civic Leadership Award for defense of the environment; the Wilderness Society's national Aldo Leopold Award for Distinguished Editorial Writing; 1,000 Friends of Florida's Al Burt Award for journalism that promoted conservation and responsible growth; and the Terrell Sessums Award for leadership in safeguarding Tampa Bay. The University of South Florida presented Guidry the Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2016. Guidry has been an active supporter of numerous local non-profit and charitable institutions, including the Boy Scouts, Friends of Hillsborough County Parks and the FBI Tampa Citizens Academy Alumni Association. He serves on the Hillsborough County Parks, Recreation and Conservation Advisory Board.
