Upper Peninsula Trappers Association - Region

Our organization strives to educate trappers on the safe, sustainable and humane harvest of furbearers and the part they play in enduring healthy furbearer populations for the enjoyment of future generations. We try to convey to those who don't often interact with wildlife how the nation's professional wildlife managers use science, population data and the help of trappers, hunters and fishermen to protect habitat, keep predators and prey in balance, limit desease outbreaks, minimize human and wildlife conflict, protect endangered and threatened species and promote the health and well- being of the animals themselves.
