    who?

    As an expert of wildlife and its habitats, the trapper works for the public. By properly managing wildlife populations, he is responsible for reducing conflicts caused by an overabundance of wildlife or wildlife-related health risks. His work in the control of predators also helps maintain biodiversity.

    Why?

    Trapping is an important tool for managing populations of furbearers. It allows, among other things, to manage populations of animals that do not have predators, it helps control nuisance species (such as beavers along roads and fields), to control the spread of certain diseases (rabies in raccoons) and to ensure proper management of wildlife populations and ecosystems.

    Becoming trapper

    In order to practice the activity, the future trapper must pass the written exam of the training course “Trapping and management of furbearing animals” (PGAF) to obtain the trapping certificate. The certificate is required to purchase a license to trap furbearing animals in Quebec. Anyone aged 12 and over can take this training.
