The broad and highly multi-disciplinary research focus of the CTHB on native tree health allows for the training of students from many fields (including microbiology, entomology, ecology, plant physiology, plant biotechnology, plant pathology, molecular biology and bioinformatics). As a result, the CTHB has developed an excellent record with regards to the successful mentoring and education of MSc and PhD students. These valuable contributions of the CTHB and its partner programme, the Tree Protection Cooperative Programme (TPCP), were recognized by the Department of Trade and Industry with the 2011 National award for "Human Resource Development - quantity and quality of students".
