Watch For and Report Wild Pigs
 Feral swine are an invasive, non-native species. Over time, pigs have escaped or were released intentionally, creating free-ranging feral swine populations in the United States and Canada. They are aggressive and pose serious ecological, economic, and health threats. Their spread is blamed for an estimated $1.5 billion worth of damage to crops, wildlife, and the environment.
There are no known established populations in Montana, although there are populations as close as North Dakota and Saskatchewan. Early detection and rapid response are the keys to success.
Protect Montana from Feral Pigs. If you think you see a feral pig, report it immediately by calling 406-444-2976.

Montana Invasive Species Council
The Montana Invasive Species Council (MISC) is a statewide partnership working to protect Montana’s economy, natural resources, and public health through a coordinated approach to combat invasive species.
MISC and our partners urge all Montanans to share this information widely and take these simple measures to be informed, attentive, and accountable for preventing the spread of terrestrial and aquatic invasive species.
