Furbearer Research Portal

Beaver, muskrat, and mink: fur-bearers that changed the world. Can you help us learn more about these species in the northeastern US?

As part of a National Science Foundation research we are studying the genetics, diet, and behavior of these three species. If you are a licensed trapper in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, or Vermont, we would love to learn from your experiences engaging with these animals.
