    Training: Resilience fundamentals, tree health and non-native pests and pathogens

    You can access our training modules by clicking 'Access the course' below. Our first module ‘Meet the threats’ provides an overview of the risks and challenges that non-native pests and pathogens present to trees. The second module ‘Reducing risks for resilient trees’ explores pest and disease transmission pathways, biosecurity measures, and how the risks from non-native pests and pathogens can be minimised to enhance resilience in trees. A third module, ‘The role of genetics in tree health and forest resilience’ is also in development.
