Feral Swine: A Growing Threat
Open House Meeting and Webinar
Open House Meeting and Webinar
January 4, 2018
4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
A 2017 report commissioned by Washington State agencies analyzed
the ecological and economic impacts of 23 invasive species to Washington's
landscapes, agriculture, business, and recreation.
Of
the species analyzed, feral swine are not yet established in
Washington. However, the invasive species is a serious threat to Washington
State's agriculture, livestock, and natural resources. Focusing solely on
potentially affected agricultural impacts, more than $6.5 billion are at risk.
With your help, we can prevent this economic impact by keeping feral swine out
of Washington.
To
share information about feral swine identification, impacts, and the imminent
threat to Washington State resources, the Washington Invasive Species Council
will be holding a meeting and webinar. Hear from experts about feral swine
damage and impacts to crops, wildlife, and water quality, and learn about
disease threats to livestock. The Washington Invasive Species Council will also
discuss what Washington is doing to prevent establishment of this new threat.
