\"\"\"logo\"The\u00a0 IHBC is delighted to announce a record number of entries for the IHBC Gus Astley Student Awards<\/a> for 2020, with more than 50 submissions, with entrants thanked and non-members offered free \u2018taster\u2019 Affiliate memberships, and as future awards and bursaries will be supported by the IHBC\u2019s CREATIVE Conservation Fund<\/a>, it\u2019s \u2018a great time to have the <\/em>\u2026 Fund<\/em><\/a> up and running<\/em>!\u2019<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018Once again the pandemic seems to have encouraged our member networks to achieve even more, as our entries this year passed the half-century mark for the first time, with more than 50 submissions.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018No doubt additional factors such as the extended entry date \u2013 to the end of August –\u00a0 and the pandemic itself, have contributed to the rush we saw in the closing weeks. However we continue to see a very high quality across the entries, so the quantity is not reducing the quality.\u2019<\/p>\n

…more than 50 submissions…<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

\u2018This flourish of entries also means we can aim to extend even further the suite of awards attached to the programme.\u00a0 Not only will we continue the range of special mentions and commendations, but also include new awards for specialist areas such as the \u2018Booth Bird\u2019 prize, presented in the 2019 Awards for a Conservation Plan.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"\"\u2018The new IHBC CREATIVE Conservation Fund<\/a> \u2013 our dedicated fund exclusively delivering on the IHBC\u2019s charitable activities like the IHBC\u2019s Gus Astley Student Awards<\/a> and bursaries for the 2021 Brighton School<\/a>\u2013 will help us better represent the full breadth of conservation learning today\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u00a0…new awards for specialist areas…<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n

\u2018This is a great time to have the IHBC CREATIVE Conservation Fund<\/a>\u2019 up and running!\u2019<\/p>\n
