The University of Maine and the University of Maine at Machias recognizes the tradition of hunting and trapping in the state and welcomes these activities on many of its properties as part of an ongoing commitment to public service and access. On this website we provide guidelines for utilizing UMaine property for hunting and trapping while ensuring faculty, staff, students, and partners can safely engage in education, research, and extension activities. Additionally, provide detailed notes related to hunting and trapping restrictions for each property and maps denoting property boundaries.
