Backyard Compost Challenge

The Backyard Compost Challenge is an annual citizen-science project in which local households collectively answer the question: "If given the chance, how many pounds of food waste could Rockbridge County households keep out of the landfill?"

BV Cool Trees

BV Cool Trees is a collaboration between the city of Buena Vista and Boxerwood Education Association. Thanks to a grant from the Virginia Department of Forestry, BV Cool Trees will plant 250+ trees in Buena Vista over the next 3 years, while also strengthening civic engagement and youth service-learning.

Volunteering

An essential part of Boxerwood's communty, our volunteers share their time, talent, and energy in our enchanting woodland setting or in the community. They tend our garden, assist educational programs, welcome visitors, and serve as tabletop hosts at occasional community events. 

Waste Busters

Waste Busters is a Boxerwood-facilitated student-run school composting program. During the 2023-2024 school year, five local elementary schools kept 7,423 pounds of food waste out of our landfill, creating healthy compost soil to be used in school gardening and planting projects.
