Looking to our heritage for modern ecological solutions
Coming Soon
EcoTrapping.com seeks to be an informational resource about updating ancient trapping methods to humanely conserve our natural resources
Ecology
Protecting lands and wildlife from predators is only one aspect of modern trapping. The other main consideration is ecology
Total eradication of predators in an area is rarely the goal of trapping. Rather, trappers seek to restore balance, prevent environmental destruction, and conserve the environment for the benefit of both humans and animals.
Heritage
Trapping is an ancient art form that was spread across North America by the mountain men, who largely left a legacy of living in harmony with the peoples and places they visited

Contribution
Trappers serve their communities by providing valuable data to ecologists and conservationists. Their efforts preserve native bird populations and prevent the spread of diseases like rabies
