In Alberta, wild boar are categorized as an invasive species — and a provincially regulated agricultural pest when at large. These beasts wreak havoc on area properties, agricultural crops, pastures, and the landscape in general. They’re also notorious for endangering people and animals. Landowners can help mitigate these problems by learning to recognize signs of their activity, and reporting sightings of wild boar.
