The annual meeting of the Tree Protection Co-operative Programme (TPCP) and DSI-NRF Centre of Excellence in Plant Health Biotechnology (CPHB) has become one of the most important meetings relating to forest tree health in South Africa and globally. The 2025 TPCP/CPHB meeting will take place on 13-14 May. This event is open to staff of member companies of the TPCP and other stakeholders in the TPCP and CPHB.

As has been the case in the past, the 36^th annual meeting of the TPCP will focus on key issues relating to forest tree health in South Africa.
