New for 2019. Description: "REGULATED TRAPPING CAN BE AMONG THE MOST CONTENTIOUS and least understood of all programs within an agency’s wildlife responsibilities. Many agencies have some staff unfamiliar with trapping, and as a result, avoid discussions about it. TRAPPING MATTERS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS were initiated in 2003 to help improve agency professionals' ability to communicate about the role and benefits of regulated trapping in wildlife management. Since their inception, more than 5,000 wildlife professionals have attended workshops throughout the United States. The Max McGraw Wildlife Foundation, the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, The Wildlife Society, The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and state fish and wildlife agencies partner to deliver workshops related to effective communication and regulated trapping. The fundamental purpose of these professional development workshops is to advance awareness and communication skills related to regulated trapping among agency professionals and to increase understanding of Best Management Practices for regulated trapping in the United States."
