Abstract:
Since European boar were introduced in 1912, these animals have spread throughout major portions of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Wildlife biologists are conducting research to assess the extent of impacts and long-term changes.
Abstract:
The control of wild boar in the Great Smokey Mountains National park has become a contention between Park Service managers and NCWRC officers.
