North Devon Catchment Partnership

The North Devon Catchment Partnership (NDCP) co-ordinates and promotes action for healthy rivers and streams across the whole of North Devon. It covers the River Taw and Torridge catchments, Hartland, Clovelly and Exmoor streams.
NDCP is hosted by Devon Wildlife Trust and supported by the North Devon Biosphere. NDCP has adopted the Wetlands and Waterbodies Action Plan from the North Devon Biosphere Reserve Nature Recovery Plan 2021-25.
