Rhoddir Gwobr Rhagoriaeth Addysg a Dysgu'r Gymdeithas yn flynyddol i gydnabod y rhai sy'n cynyddu ymwybyddiaeth, dealltwriaeth a sgiliau sy'n gysylltiedig â'r amgylchedd, yn enwedig coedwigaeth, a'r cysylltiad rhwng coed a chynhyrchion pren.

Dywedodd panel beirniadu’r wobr -

“Mae'r ffordd y mae'r gymuned leol yn cysylltu â'r coleg i ymgysylltu myfyrwyr â'u prosiectau, a gan gyflogwyr sy'n chwilio am ddarpar weithwyr yn y dyfodol yn syth o'r coleg, yn dangos pa mor uchel eu parch ydi’r cyrsiau hyn ar draws y sectorau coedwigaeth, cadwraeth a thirwedd. Da iawn Coleg Glynliffon! ”
