Hello recreational trappers,
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is looking to support University of Oklahoma student Karissa Hughes in her research on historic and current furbearer genetics and diet in the Columbia River region. To do this, we are looking for individuals that are interested in collecting samples from harvested or removed beaver, mink, and muskrat from across Washington state. See the flyer for more project details.
If you are interested in participating in this OU project, please contact Karissa (Karissa.s.hughes-1@ou.edu) to find out more and to receive your own sampling kit.
Additional questions can be forwarded to the WDFW Furbearer Section at RecreationalTrapping
@WA.gov.
