Dunster Trappers association 

Who Are We

The Dunster Trappers are part of the Robson Valley Trappers' Association, which extends from Crescent Spur to the Kinbasket Lake and south along Highway 5 including the North Thompson River drainage. There are seven traplines that are whole or partially overlapped into the Dunster footprint.
Taplines are government registered areas that a trapper owns the right to manage and harvest fur from. Trappers are required to complete a trapping certification course before they can obtain a license to trap and must practice humane trapping standards that have been set out by countries worldwide that are involved in the fur trade. Trapping is one of the local sustainable industries in the valley.
Local trappers have a meeting in February in Chuck's shop and a family picinic at the Dunster Picnic Grounds in September. The picnic is open to all and includes a potluck lunch, campfire coffee, games, demonstrations and information on 'what's new' in the trapping world.
