About us

Welcome to the North Devon UNESCO Biosphere - an
important meeting place of rich natural and cultural heritage in a stunning, diverse landscape in the heart of South West England.

The North Devon Biosphere Foundation is an environmental charity dedicated to furthering the aims of the North Devon UNESCO Biosphere Partnership. From the red deer of Dartmoor, along our meandering rivers, past historic coastal communities, to the diversity of our marine environment stretching beyond Lundy Island, our UNESCO Biosphere celebrates life by recognising the connections between people and nature.

As part of the global UNESCO MAB network, our Biosphere provides an open forum for bringing people together with their natural surroundings – to empower them to unlock their potential, and using their local and scientific knowledge to model solutions for sustainable living. We seek to inspire people to establish new, meaningful connections to their environment and share a way of living with nature that builds a positive future we can be proud of.

Donations raised will help fund a variety of projects, such as the water vole reintroduction to Braunton Marsh or restoring the ancient woodlands across our Biosphere.
