The East Devon National Landscape Partnership is made up of a wide range of organisations, businesses and volunteers who are committed to working together to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the East Devon National Landscape.
In consultation with communities and organisations active within the National Landscape, the Partnership is responsible for developing and delivering a five-yearly Management Strategy on behalf of East Devon District Council and Devon County Council.
The Partnership Plan
The Partnership Plan is our five-year management strategy. It identifies key issues facing our National Landscape, sets out long term objectives for its future and highlights the actions needed to conserve our landscape.
Annual Review
The Annual Review outlines the work of the National Landscape Partnership and team over the last financial year; working with partners on environmental, community and rural economy projects across East Devon National Landscape.
Partnership Meetings
The Partnership holds two business meetings a year. In addition we hold a summer field event in July, held at varying National Landscape locations, as well as an Annual Meeting in September.
