Trapper Education field day scheduled in Livingston

Livingston field day is Aug. 23

LIVINGSTON – Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks staff and volunteers will host a field day for Trapper Education students in Livingston on Friday, Aug. 23.

Trapper Education in Montana consists of online coursework and an in-person field day. This is required for residents ages 12 and older wishing to purchase a Montana Class C trapping license if they haven’t purchased a trapping license in at least three prior years. This course also satisfies the educational requirement for wolf trapping.

Trapper Education field days are taught by skilled volunteer instructors. This allows students to gain hands-on experience with trapping equipment and guidance from experts. The field day also includes instruction on safety, laws, regulations, ethics, fur handling and other important topics.

Several Trapper Education field days have been held so far this year, and course availability for the rest of the year is limited. To attend a field day, students must complete the online coursework and then register for the field day. To learn more about the Livingston Field day or to sign up, click here.
