Devon Local Nature Partnership

Devon Local Nature Partnership (LNP) is a strategic collaboration of a huge range of organisations, groups and individuals committed to working together to restore and enhance the natural environment which underpins our lives.

Devon supports an amazing diversity of landscapes and wildlife habitats, ranging from upland peat bogs, to ancient oak woodlands, rivers, ancient hedges and species rich grasslands. We are a national stronghold for otters, dormice, greater horseshoe bats and support globally threatened species such as the marsh fritillary butterfly and European eel. We have deep rich and fertile soils and an abundant water supply.

This environment is our greatest asset. It provides us with food, fuel, carbon sequestration, pollination, flood control, great recreational and business opportunities and a natural health service. It is one of the main reasons that people and businesses want to live in Devon. It underpins our lives.
