The Box Moor Trust is a registered charity dedicated to enriching our community, protecting nature, and preserving local heritage. We proudly manage nearly 500 acres of grazing and amenity land across Bovingdon and Hemel Hempstead, ensuring these cherished spaces remain accessible, sustainable, and vibrant for generations to come.
Enrich Community. Protect Nature. Preserve Heritage.
