Welcome to the Knox Environment Society (KES) website. This website aims to provide most information that anyone would want to know about the KES. It includes details about the community nursery and a current stocklist of available plants. There are a number of articles of interest, outlines of some projects that the KES are involved in as well as information about the history of the KES and environmental management in the Knox Municipality. KES readily welcomes interested members of the community to join them and to contact them to them regarding support for environmental projects, in particular community plantings.
