NDABS

The North Devon AONB and Biosphere Service (NDABS) is a partnership organisation hosted by Devon County Council. It was formerly know as the North Devon Coast and Countrsyside Service.

We were established in 1998 after the re-structuring of various countryside projects working in the northern Devon area and all of our work is within North Devon's Biosphere Reserve.
Our mission is to:

“To work with the community to provide a high quality service for the Northern Devon Coast & Countryside, to secure a sustainable future & safeguard the special character of the area.”
