Trapping closures along Ketchikan trails lifted

KETCHIKAN — Forest Service trapping closures along Ketchikan area trails have been lifted.

Forest Supervisor Earl Stewart made the decision after review of feedback from the public meeting held on Oct.17, and after reviewing applicable law and Forest Service policy, according to a press release from the Forest Service. The temporary, emergency closure prohibited trapping within 150 feet of trails and campgrounds along the Ketchikan road system. This emergency closure was intended to be temporary.
