The Eurasian Wild Boar is an invasive species in North America. Brought over since the beginning of European colonization, they became firmly established in 1890 by wealthy landowners. They now threaten and destroy both natural habitats and communities by out-competing native species for food, destroying the nests of ground-nesting species, killing fawns and young domestic livestock, destroying agricultural crops, eating tree seeds and seedlings, destroying native vegetation and wetlands through wallowing, damaging water quality, coming into violent conflict with humans and pets and carrying pig and human diseases. We must work together to remove these aggressive swine from our communities.
