Friendly Reminder to Our Riding Community 🏕️🌲
WBRRA would like to pass along a friendly reminder regarding local trappers who live and work in areas that many of us enjoy riding throughout the year.
Trapping is an important part of their livelihood and way of life, and we ask everyone to please respect all traps, equipment and traplines you may come across. There have been instances in the past where traps have been intentionally set off using sticks or otherwise tampered with. Please remember that interfering with or tampering with someone’s legally placed trapping equipment is not permitted.
We also ask riders to respect trappers’ cabins and private belongings. If you come across a trapper’s cabin while out riding, please continue on and give it some space. Do not enter locked cabins, use fire pits around the cabin, or use firewood and other supplies that belong to the trapper.
With hunting and trapping season upon us, there will be more people working and recreating in the backcountry. A little respect and consideration from everyone goes a long way.
We all share these trails and backcountry areas. Please ride responsibly, respect other users, leave trapping equipment alone, and give trappers and their cabins the space they deserve.
Thank you from Wood Buffalo Recreational Riders Association (WBRRA) for helping keep a positive relationship between riders, trappers, hunters and everyone who enjoys our backcountry. 🌲🤝
