In person and on Zom.
Join Herb Virgo for an inspiring exploration of the Keney Park Sustainability Project (KPSP), a transformative initiative dedicated to preserving and enhancing one of Hartford’s most iconic green spaces. In this talk, Herb will take you on a journey through the history, current efforts, and visionary plans for the future of Keney Park.
KPSP is a holistic initiative that actively engages the community in various areas, including health and nutrition education, landscaping, forest management, waste reduction, building and design, and urban agriculture.
Herb holds a bachelor’s degree in Sociology-Based Human Relations from Connecticut College and has been recognized for his contributions with multiple awards, including the KNOX Green Heroes Award and the Hartford Community Food Security Award. He is a certified forest practitioner, tree warden, and a member of several environmental councils, including the Connecticut Urban Forest Council. Additionally, he managed a project that expanded Keney Park’s trail system by seven miles, collaborating with local organizations and volunteers to improve public access to green spaces.
