The Blackdown Hills National Landscape is a designated protected landscape. It is looked after by a partnership of local authorities, government agencies, conservation organisations and community groups (Blackdown Hills National Landscape Partnership), and by small team of staff based in Hemyock.

Our work involves collaborating with a network of organisations, businesses, farmers, landowners and local communities.

Together, we run, and are involved with, a range of projects and initiatives to conserve and protect the Blackdown Hills National Landscape – its natural environment, its heritage, and its culture – while keeping in mind the needs of local communities and businesses.
