University of Maine 4-H Camp & Learning Center at Bryant Pond

Trapping has been a part of Maine tradition for hundreds of years. This legacy continues at the Maine Conservation School as we introduce you to the skills and knowledge to responsibly trap fur-bearing animals and provide basic knowledge of how to move wisely and safely in the Maine woods. In partnership with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, MCS offers TRAPPER EDUCATION as an on-campus, hands-on experience that will include instruction in proper trapping equipment and use, responsible trap setting, the importance of good wildlife management practices, and habits and traits of furbearers. Trapping laws, responsibilities, emergencies, survival, and personal safety will also be covered.
