This week's Website of the Week is Defra Civil Society blog (http://blogs.defra.gov.uk/3rd-sector/) - this was until very recently known as the Defra’s Third Sector blog with an aim to "keep you informed of what we are up to and giving you a mechanism to engage with the progress we make". Given the changes happening in the Defra world this is currently a good source of news related to the coalition spending review.
If you would like to nominate a national, regional or local site with an environmental flavour please contact wow@yhref.org.uk.
