The Maryland Taxidermists Association is an organization dedicated to educating and protecting your rights as taxidermists. We offer members an annual convention and competition, as well as training workshops. Membership also includes a quarterly newsletter, member ID card, business listing on our web site, eligibility for Maryland's Distinguished Taxidermist Certification, and admission to meetings and special events. When you join the MTA, you become a better informed taxidermist. You don't have to be a licensed taxidermist to join. If taxidermy is your hobby or you are just interested in learning, you are welcome to join.
