The Biosphere were fortunate enough to be invited to set up a stall for the recent Royal visit, part of a 'Best of North Devon' showcase that took place in Barnstaple's historic Pannier Market.
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall spent over an hour chatting to stall holders and representatives from various organisations including the North Devon Biosphere, Children’s Hospice South West, of which the Her Royal Highness is Patron, North Devon Hospice, and the North Devon AONB.
Andy Bell, Biosphere Coordinator said "I was pleasantly surprised when His Royal Highness started the conversation by saying "Biosphere, I have heard about this and am very interested". The conversation followed with talking about the work of the Biosphere Partnership on land and marine issues, and how we aim to improve the links between people and nature"
