KNOX, Inc.

KNOX was founded in 1966 when city councilwoman Betty Knox established a trust fund to help make Hartford greener and healthier. During its first decade, KNOX focused on funding community development and operating programs to make the city greener. The organization split in 1976, with the Betty Knox Foundation making grants and KNOX concentrating on Hartford's environment. Key programs at KNOX include managing and maintaining community gardens, training urban incubator farmers, teaching children environmental education, providing underserved young adults with green job skills, restoring the urban forest, and greening the city. KNOX’s goals are twofold: to steward Hartford's environment and to increase access to healthy food in Hartford.
