About the event
From funding provided by the National Association of Conservation Districts and in collaboration with USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services and the Guam Department of Agriculture's Division of Aquatics and Wildlife Resources, we invite the public to join us for an informative and engaging workshop designed to address the growing concerns surrounding feral swine populations and their impact on our environment and agriculture. This workshop will provide valuable insights into effective management practices, including biological understanding, ecological consequences, and how-tos on feral swine depredation!
