The Blackdown Hills AONB is managed by a partnership of public bodies, local organisations and voluntary groups with an active interest in the Hills.
Members of the Partnership work co-operatively to an agreed five year Management Plan and annual Business Plan, with the key funders being signatories to a six year Memorandum of Agreement.
The key funders of the AONB Partnership are Devon County Council, Somerset County Council, East Devon District Council, Mid Devon District Council, South Somerset District Council, Taunton Deane Borough Council and Natural England.
Policy decisions are made by the Management Group, which consists of key funders plus elected representatives drawn from the AONB Partnership.
Management Group meetings are held four times a year, at locations throughout the Blackdown Hills. These meetings are open to the public.
See our governance section for links to minutes of previous meetings, dates of future meetings and a full list of partners.
