About The Box Moor Trust

With a rich history spanning four centuries, the Box Moor Trust is a registered charity that manages nearly 500 acres of grazing and amenity land on the outskirts of Hemel Hempstead and Bovingdon on behalf of the local community.

Predominantly open access, the land is free to visit and explore. The Trust plays host to three sports clubs and offers a variety of environmental awareness courses for local schools, youth groups and adult learners. It also runs a programme of community events, walks and talks, and has a thriving group of volunteers that help out with conservation and other tasks on the estate.
