Abstract:
The study will examine the attitudes and actions of
landowners concerning the recent feral hog invasion around and
within Big Bend NP. Participants
in a survey will be landowners within a 100 mile radius of the
park. Landowners
input will be through telephone interviews that address the
estimated number of hogs on their property, what they are doing
to control hog numbers, attitudes about hog eradication or
control, and an understanding of feral hog impacts on the
natural biota.
