Community Project

North Devon Biosphere Communities

"Empowering people to champion nature and coproduce solutions to environmental and social challenges."

Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes

Biosphere Communities empowers groups and individuals to champion nature’s recovery in their local area and coproduce sustainable solutions to the shared environmental and social challenges faced across our communities in North Devon and Torridge.

Starting in 2024 and funded by the Climate Action Fund for four years, our team of four ‘Community Animators’ will coproduce programmes with the communities of Bideford, Appledore, South Molton, Ashreigney and Chumleigh. We aim to develop:

  • community-led climate action that is further reaching, better connected, better equipped and more resilient
  • stronger green career pathways and a larger green economy with more opportunities for local young people
  • communities that are increasingly nature-rich and better placed to tackle and mitigate the climate challenge
  • community hubs which can access expert advice and cascade support and links out to the wider community

We plan to involve further communities in the project as it develops.

What We Do

Working with our  project partners and wider supporters across Devon, we are coproducing  skills training, placements, internships, activities, volunteering, as well as citizen-science and creative engagement opportunities for young people so that community groups, businesses and young people across North Devon can understand and believe in taking action for the climate and nature through the economy and their careers.
