THE HACKFALL TRUST 

Safeguarding the future of Hackfall, an 18th century ''green garden''. The site contains listed structures and buildings. These are the concern of the Hackfall Trust, which was set up to forestall the likelihood of commercial development. Stakeholders came forward, namely the Landmark Trust, English Nature, two Local Authorities, and the Woodland Trust, which acquired a 999-year lease of Hackfall.
