Biosecurity refers to a set of precautions that aim to prevent the introduction and spread of harmful organisms. These include non-native tree pests, such as insects, and disease-causing organisms, called pathogens, such as some bacteria and fungi.

Our biosecurity e-learning package was developed with the Animal and Plant Health Agency, the Arboricultural Association and the British Association for Landscape Industries.

It provides background information about biosecurity issues, and clear guidance on the most effective and appropriate biosecurity measures for different situations.

At the end of each module is a short test to establish your understanding of the subject. The pass mark for each test is 80%, and there is an option to re-take the test if required.
