Abstract:

The control of wild boar in the Great Smokey Mountains National park has become a contention between Park Service managers and NCWRC officers. A previous agreement provided for the live-trapping of boar in the Park and their move to public hunting lands; however, the Park Service has been moving toward attempts at complete eradication from the park to which the NCWRC are not amenable.

Abstract:

Since European boar were introduced in 1912, these animals have spread throughout major portions of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Rooting damage caused by the boar could be decreasing the amount of available nutrients for the proper growth of trees. Wildlife biologists are conducting research to assess the extent of impacts and long-term changes.
