A Critical Call to Action for

Alaska’s Trapping Heritage

The Alaska Trappers Association (ATA) is the single most important voice for preserving and promoting the essential tradition of trapping across our vast state. We are fueled by dedicated volunteers and the belief that responsible trapping is integral to Alaska’s culture, wildlife management, and economy.

But our mission is under constant threat. We rely on the generosity of people like you to fund the programs that safeguard our future.

Why Your Support Matters:

The ATA Mission

When you purchase an ATA Supporter Membership, your contribution goes directly toward fulfilling our core mission:

“Preserving and promoting trapping through trapper education and public awareness.”

Your Supporter Membership directly funds critical efforts, including:

Trapper Education: Providing essential, science-based training for new and seasoned trappers to ensure humane and ethical practices.
Public Awareness: Serving as the trusted, knowledgeable voice that engages with policymakers, media, and the public to combat misinformation and advocate for responsible management.
Legal & Legislative Defense: Protecting your right to trap against restrictive regulations and bans at the state and local level.
Community Outreach: Hosting events and workshops that celebrate and pass on the skills of our rich trapping heritage.
