According to Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries

(WFF) Supervising Wildlife Biologist Mike Sievering, these workshops
offer the perfect opportunity for the youth of Alabama to learn skills and
techniques that can only be attained from hands-on activities.
“The youth of today are more accustomed to sitting on the

couch, playing video games, texting their friends or watching
TV,” Sievering said. “Opportunities like this to learn outdoor
skills seem to be somewhat limited. The youth trapper
education workshops are just one tool to reverse that trend.”
WFF developed the youth trapper education workshop in 2007, with

assistance from the Alabama Trappers and Predator Control Association
and USDA Wildlife Services, as a way to preserve this vanishing art. Visit
the hunting section of www.outdooralabama.com for more information
about trapping and the youth trapper education workshops.
