Description
Trapping is a traditional activity that reflects cultural and aboriginal lifestyles, which Alberta Community Development (CD) wishes to support. A number of Registered Fur Management Areas (RFMA) were included within parks and protected areas designated or expanded between 1995 and 2001. Commitments to trappers in these areas will be honoured. In addition to the Wildlife Act and its regulations, the Provincial Parks Act and its regulations and the Wilderness Areas, Ecological Reserves and Natural Areas Act, fur trapping in Alberta's Parks and Protected Areas will also be managed pursuant to this policy. The intent of this policy is to ensure an appropriate balance is maintained between fur trapping and the public's desire for opportunities to view wildlife in a natural and safe setting and to make trapping operations as similar as possible between parks and protected areas and general Crown land. Fur trapping in this policy means the trapping or hunting of fur-bearing animals carried out by a trapper. Trapper refers to a senior holder, as described in the Wildlife Regulation, who is in possession of a registered fur management licence pursuant to the Wildlife Act and its regulation as well as partners and other authorized trappers such as spouses or children authorized to trap on an RFMA.
