Trap Free Montana, Incorporated is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization established in 2016. We are a grassroots, boots on the ground, nonprofit originating from our 2014 ballot initiative attempt for Trap Free Montana Public Lands (TFMPL). Our constituents are hikers, anglers, hunters, wildlife watchers, scientists, educators, biologists, photographers, ranchers, pet owners, and outdoor enthusiasts all sharing a common denominator by opposing trapping. We value wildlife, all wildlife, for their ecological role and for their intrinsic value.

Our mission is to connect hearts & minds through science, truths in trapping, & compassion to rise to the plight of wildlife & support biodiversity, coexistence, responsible stewardship, & trap free public lands.

Wildlife are in trouble. Experts say we are in the 6th mass extinction and this time because of humans. Wildlife are seriously challenged with loss of habitat, human encroachment, loss of biodiversity, connectivity, and climate change. They are harmed from fear, ignorance, selfishness, and perpetuated myths. Many species have a price tag on their heads and are managed either as a commodity or vermin.

Wildlife routinely in Montana get the short end of the stick and are routinely and quickly killed in response to real, perceived, or potential conflicts. Some people love to kill them. Others love them to death.

Trapping is one major and unnecessary form of wildlife mortality in Montana, we can and need to stop!
