HAMILTON - The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is offering a series of youth and adult trapping workshops throughout the state this winter.  The closest one will be in Hamilton Nov. 4-5, for adults only. There is a $10 registration fee for each adult who attends a workshop. To register, visit www.outdooralabama.com/trapping-workshops.

These educational workshops provide instruction on the historical aspects of trapping, biological information about furbearers and furbearer management and the proper techniques of using trapping as a sound wildlife management tool.
