Braunton Burrows, the core area of the Biosphere is a sand dune system which is home to a large number of rare plants and animals.

The Burrows are owned and managed by Christie Estates, who play a vital part through its Stewardship Agreement with Natural England. They support many educational activities as a part of that agreement.
