Our Work

Originally the brainchild of New Hampshire wildlife control professional, Jeff Traynor, the Furbearer Conservation™ project now thrives as a resource entity engaged in the promotion of sustainable-use conservation. Those involved in the Furbearer Conservation™ project have worked tirelessly to promote hands-on wildlife policy/protocols and solidify a well established working relationship between sustainable users (licensed trappers/hunters), wildlife control operators, and biologists (both state appointed and independent).

We have collaborated with many outdoor organizations and advocates in Canada and the United States on the sound management of furbearers - to include both outreach and conservation support. Our work includes extensive outreach in the Northeast with advocacy for wildlife management integrity and education/awareness of fur-bearing species of wildlife.

Particularly in New Hampshire, we have dedicated countless man-hours to outreach, legislative testimony, wildlife education (both private and state appointed), and technical assistance with scientific study and research on furbearer health, statistics and understanding (particularly with Fisher, Fox and Bobcat).

Furbearer Conservation™ contributors continue to provide commentary, consulting, and outreach on current and future wildlife management subjects and topics.

We continue to promote proper education on the subject of regulated trapping and sustainable use, support applicable wildlife management policy (including nuisance wildlife protocol), offer commentary, testimony and criticism of flawed or restrictive legislation, and continue to advocate for wise use and conservation of natural resources in a way that is beneficial to biodiversity and cohesive with researchers, biologists, and the general public.

*Furbearer Conservation does not receive any state or federal funding for its operations. Our work and commentary is made possible by the support of contributors who value our tenacity and commitment to the "common sense" conservation of wildlife.
