NWCTP
National Wildlife Control Training Program
The National Wildlife Control Training Program is a cooperative venture of Cornell University, University of Wisconsin-Stephens Point, eXtension, and professionals interested in wildlife damage management. We welcome the participation of state and federal agencies. The goal of the NWCTP is to create and coordinate a uniform training program and to create national standards for nuisance wildlife control and wildlife damage management. The curriculum reflects the principles and methodology of wildlife damage management using an integrated pest management approach, as applied to human-wildlife conflicts. In addition to the core curriculum, there are dozens of species profiles with specific animal handling and control techniques.
The authors and collaborators welcome your feedback and invite you to participate in making this program a better product for wildlife control professionals. We have created a website and Moodle online course at http://wildlifecontroltraining.com. Please check out the website for more information.
