Trapping is a fascinating part of the conservation tools that we have in Maine. The benefits of trapping are also often misunderstood. It has played a significant role in our country’s history. The fur industry led to the creation of some early economies, and the creation of some of the most well-known trading hubs in all the colonies. Hunters and trappers have been at the forefront of conservation efforts from the start. ~ Erin Merrill
