Attention parents who were inquiring about this workshop… it is a workshop being put on by the LDWF. We have been informed that information will be coming soon about the 4-H trapping program that is being brought back. We have no information on it at this point. You are welcome to follow the link and apply for the lottery to get in for this particular workshop, as there are limited spots. There is also a Fur Trapping Convention taking place in Baton Rouge on November 7 that is open to all. There will be various vendors, and the Louisiana 4-H wetlands ambassadors will
have an educational outreach booth at that event. Information will be attached in the comments.
