\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Tree species are long"=lived and may produce millions of seeds over their lifetime. Most tree species also have high genetic diversity and this,  combined with high fecundity, allows for vital adaptive responses to changing climates. The need for seed sources having high genetic quality increases with the mounting demand for restoration planting stock. But as populations of trees are eliminated with changing land uses, much"=needed genetic diversity is lost. In spite of the need for forest genetic resource (FGR) conservation and management, practitioners are often not well"=informed.  Management decisions made without considering the importance and role of genetics in population viability can increase the risk to tree populations and reduce the effectiveness of conservation.  In most cases, forestry education curricula do not include genetic concepts and management considerations adequately, if at all.  A vicious cycle is brewing in which teaching and understanding of FGR and its importance to conserving forest tree species --- in reserves and in production landscapes --- becomes increasingly marginalised. We describe an approach to teaching and learning that uses case studies, focused on real situations, with real data and results. The Forest Genetic Resources Training Guide (http://forest"=genetic-resources"=training-guide.bioversityinternational.org/) is modular; each module includes several case studies around a theme. For example the first module focuses on development of conservation strategies for particular tree species with different reproductive biology and ecological niches. Case studies in other modules cover topics such as genetic impact of logging, and ensuring genetic diversity in trees planted on farms. The Training Guide is designed to promote `FGR-friendly' decision"=making, so it covers practical issues in forest and tree conservation and management of both global and local relevance. Each case study provides genetic, ecological and socioeconomic information as a basis for students' analysis. Background information is provided for each case through teacher's notes, PowerPoint presentations and videos. The guide is intended for both tertiary education and on"=the-job training. It is or will soon be available in English, Spanish, French, Russian and Chinese. The material has proved popular with trainees and is flexible and easy to use in a range of formal and informal learning situations.}
