Fur, a Natural Renewable Resource

ITA logo color.jpg

The Iowa Trappers Association is a state-wide organization that is made up of trappers that work together to promote and protect our sport of trapping. We were instrumental in
developing and instructing of the Iowa Fur Harvester Education Class for young trappers.

Legislatively, the ITA is recognized and respected for its opinions in the formation of laws concerning trapping, hunting and fishing by the Iowa Legislature and the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. ITA was involved in the REAP Coalition and it's passing, and we helped to save the Fish & Wildlife Trust Fund from being spent to balance the state budget problems.
