The Blackdown Hills AONB is managed by a Partnership of national agencies, local authorities, conservation organisations and community groups who work together to protect this special place.
The AONB Partnership funds a small staff team based in Hemyock. Our work includes:
- advising local planning authorities, decision-makers and landowners;
- supporting environment, community and enterprise projects in the area;
- providing opportunities to enjoy and understand the area's environment and heritage;
- representing the countryside as part of the UK network of AONBs and National Parks.
For more information about how the AONB is governed, including details of Partnership members and funders, see Management Information.
