IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘As we collate our tenders and NewsBlogs, we also find lots of HESPR-related content alongside the usual NewsBlog gems and nuggets. So each week we include with our ‘News and Tender Alerts’ a cross-section of those we think most relevant.’
‘This week’s NewsBlogs update features news from the HESPR ‘News and Tender Alert’ circulated on 4 December, a week when we listed opportunities in conservation worth more than £468,000.
