Partners and Communities in north Devon - The Biosphere is home to about 150,000 people. Our success depends on the strength of the relationships we create. We work together to connect people across disciplines, cultures and borders and to reconnect people to each other and to nature.
 
It’s these powerful connections that mean we can achieve outcomes together that we could not achieve alone and be part of something bigger.
 
We are all ‘the Biosphere’ working together to create a positive future by connecting people with nature.
