Please bring a lunch and drinks.Maine’s trapper education course provides a foundation of knowledge to ensure that today’s trappers are well educated, responsible, and ethical conservationists. The course includes instruction on the benefits of regulated trapping, proper trapping equipment and use, responsible trap setting, the importance of good wildlife management practices, and habits and traits of furbearers. Classes include classroom and hand-on portions based on availability per location.Maine’s Trapping Courses are all in person home study courses that require students to do a portion at home prior to attending the 1-day in person course. This allows students to do course work at home at their own pace, which better meets the needs of today’s busy families and individuals. It also prepares them with a solid foundation of knowledge which is more efficient for the instructors and course delivery. Upon registration, you will be asked for your preferred method of pre-work study options - whether online or by printed study materials (details about each below).Course Modules:Intro to TrappingTools of the trade-types of traps and equipmentLand and Water SetsTrap SettingLaws and RegsFurbearers and Fur HandlingLaws, Ethics, and Landowner RelationsBear Trapping UnitExclusion Devices and Canada Lynx ProtectionsFinal AssessmentCurrent trapping laws found here: https://www.maine.gov/ifw/docs/25-MDIFW-19-TRAPPING-LAWBOOK-2025-26-final.pdf.Trapper Education courses are open to anyone over the age of 10.

We believe a healthy ecosystem makes life better for all the fish, wildlife, and people who call Maine home, as well as for the visitors who call it Vacationland.While MDIFW is a state agency, our work is funded by sportsmen and outdoorspeople. Our revenue comes through the sale of hunting and fishing licenses/permits, boat, snowmobile, and ATV registrations, as well as taxes on hunting and fishing gear. The more people who actively enjoy Maine's natural resources, the more ability we have to enhance, preserve, and protect them for the future.Basically, we're all in this together. Biologists. Game wardens. Educators. And you – the hunters, fishermen, and everyday adventurers who support our work.For recreation, for hunting, for fishing, for science, or just for fun: we're all in for the Maine outdoors." } ] } ] ```
