Community

Biosphere Reserves are all about inspiring a positive relationship between people and nature. They are a focus for finding creative ways for people and nature to thrive together and that means involving people in everything that we do.

The Biosphere team works directly with communities but many Biosphere partnership members also do this work.

The Biosphere has established a Community Forum to help us understand what the people's needs are within our area and some insight into how the Bioshere might be able to help. Forum members also provide a link into communities, helping us to plan and deliver activities right across the Biosphere.
