Mission

Boxerwood educates and inspires people of all ages to be environmentally responsible Earth stewards.

 

 

Boxerwood Education Association is a grassroots non-profit serving Rockbridge County, Virginia.

Our mission is to educate and inspire people of all ages to be environmentally responsible stewards of the Earth. 

We advance our mission through four interrelated endeavors:

The Woodland Garden

Haven for the imagination, our 20-acre arboretum is home to a wide variety of flora and fauna. Base of operations, the grounds are open to the public dawn to dusk every day for meandering, recreation, and learning. Groups of ten or more please contact us in advance.

Youth & Community Programs

Boxerwood connects people of all ages with the Earth and one another through bountiful, nature-based programming. Our place-based work includes an award-winning multi-school partnership, a portfolio of clubs and camps, and a collection of beloved seasonal happenings.

Stewardship Actions

Our Earth care projects bring all kinds of people together in hands-on actions that protect waterways, restore soil, help wildlife, and promote a spirit of volunteering. We sustain this work in part by proceeds from our homegrown community-based carbon-offset marketplace, COREworks.

The Meadow

For those keen to align the arc of their lives with ecological integrity, Boxerwood now offers end-of-life options with The Meadow, an on-site, natural burial ground. Proceeds from this non-profit venture sustain our green cemetery in perpetuity and also support the Woodland Garden.
