The Northumberland Biodiversity Partnership is a collection of organisations and individuals working together to conserve, enhance and promote biodiversity in Northumberland.

The word ‘biodiversity’ comes from the term ‘biological diversity’ and simply means all living plants and animals on earth and the complex and fragile natural systems that they support. This includes everything from plankton to puffins, weasels to willows and backyards to border mires.

Details on the habitats and species that have been identified as priorities for protection and conservation in the county can be found in the Northumberland Biodiversity Action Plan.
