Trim All Columns in Duck DB

Oh this so groovy that this works in duckdb, at least if all columns are varchar type:

Wildlife Management Units (WMUs)

Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) are the geographical units DEC uses to set hunting and trapping seasons in New York State. This map is similar to the online one on the DEC website, however I added random colors to make the different WMUs stand out better. Updated 9/19/17 with the Northern Southern Zone line, shown in red. You may need to zoom in to see the Northern-Southern Line clearly. Updated 1/24/21 with Town, County lines along with DEC Lands shown on a Topographic Map. You can switch to alternative layers in the right hand corner.
