Working in Partnership

Upper & Bedford Ouse Catchment Partnership (UBOCP)

Beds RCC acts as host and partner in the Upper & Bedford Ouse Catchment Partnership (UBOCP). This aims to bring together relevant partners to work for the planning and delivery of activities and projects to improve water quality, channel structure, habitat quality and biodiversity in the Upper and Bedford Ouse Catchment.

Greensand Country Landscape Partnership

The Greensand Country Landscape Partnership has completed a National Lottery Heritage Funded Programme of more than 100 projects, helping to raise awareness of the heritage value of the landscape and to reverse the gradual decline in the distinct landscape character of this beautiful and loved place. Now lead by The Greensand Trust, the Partnership continues to operate beyond this Lottery-Funded phase, bringing together organisations to develop and delivery projects across the landscape. We are a partner and former host organisation for the partnership.

Bedfordshire’s Local Nature Partnership

We are a board member of Bedfordshire’s Local Nature Partnership, which brings together those interested in protecting and enhancing the natural environment for the benefit of people, wildlife and businesses. Formed in 2012, and have been working together since then to present a clear and joined-up approach to achieve real change. We have worked hard to ensure the county’s various Local Plans and other strategies fully acknowledge the importance of the natural environment, and include policies that protect and enhance it.
