Training offered for nuisance wildlife trappers
OLYMPIA -- The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is offering free
training to individuals interested in working to control nuisance wildlife.
Training sessions will be offered from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Feb. 21 in Room 172 of
the Natural Resources Building, 1111 Washington St., here and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The training is required for those who wish to serve as Nuisance Wildlife Control
