THE BLAXHALL COMMONS AND OPEN SPACES CHARITABLE TRUST 

Our primary activity is the management of two pieces of open land in the village of Blaxhall, which are managed to encourage biodiversity and conserve the environment, and to allow public access for recreation and leisure. Part of the land is made available to local people for cultivation as low-cost allotments. We also organise regular litter picks and engage in local tree- and hedge-planting.
