The National Trappers Association

The National Trappers Association (NTA) is a major actor in the support and education of trappers across the country. This organization provides valuable resources and ongoing education for both beginners and experienced trappers.

The NTA offers a wide range of materials, including trapping guides, best practice manuals, and species-specific information. It often publishes regular newsletters or magazines that keep members informed about new techniques, regulations, and conservation efforts.

Continuing education is a priority for the NTA. It frequently organizes workshops, seminars, and annual conventions where trappers can learn from experts and share knowledge with peers. These events cover topics such as compassionate trapping methods, wildlife conservation, and updates on trapping laws and regulations.

The NTA also works closely with wildlife management agencies, contributing to research and policy development. By providing these resources and educational opportunities, the National Trappers Association helps ensure that trapping remains a responsible, ethical, and respectful practice.
