Hunting, Trapping, and Conservation Working Group

Welcome to the TWS Hunting, Trapping, and Conservation Working Group

The Hunting, Trapping and Conservation Working Group (HTCWG) promotes exploring issues associated with hunting and trapping relative to conservation and management of wildlife resources. To accomplish this, we serve as a forum for the study and transfer of information on this subject matter. We also advocate science-based decisions regarding hunting and trapping and aim to increase awareness of hunting and trapping as a critical component of conservation. In doing this, we hope to foster communication among TWS members about hunting and trapping issues, improve knowledge and technical capabilities of TWS members relative to hunting and trapping and promote science-based hunting and trapping outside TWS.
