Why, wherefore

Hello. The idea of this blog is to offer visitors to http://www.billworbfurs.com, a retail site offering fur products, a way to learn more about the fur trade and what has and hasn't been done to further the husbandry of a principal resource of northern Canada.

http://www.fur.ca
This is the online home of the national trade association of the Canadian fur industry. The lead article as of today tells how activists in Europe kick-started international rules for improved trapping standards.

A portion of a much larger site of the Canadian Museum of Civilization that gives an overview of the canoe in the history of Canada. Well illustrated, the small graphics enlarge when clicked.
