Martin Hubbes has been a professor of Forest Pathology at the Faculty of Forestry from 1972 to 1995. During this time he was actively involved in teaching, research and administration. Since 1995, he has continued his research at the Faculty. A major goal has been to move the science and research on forest protection and pathology to new frontiers in fighting forest diseases with biological methods, instead chemical pesticides thereby promoting the integrity of the environment and introducing a very special method of sustainable forest management. Under his supervision, 30 graduate students have completed their degrees and are now working in different areas of forestry and agriculture. Dr. Hubbes has recently been awarded the 2000 Canadian Institute of Forestry Scientific Achievement Award.
