DNRE Director Signs Order to Make Feral Swine Invasive Species (Dec 10, 2010)
Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment.
Feral swine and wild boar have been declared invasive species in Michigan, effective Jul 8, 2011. This provides the state Legislature time to enact laws to provide regulations for facilities that currently provide wild boar breeding and hunting. If legislation is not passed to regulate the facilities, the invasive species order will go in to effect, making it illegal to possess wild boar in Michigan. Feral swine have been sighted in nearly every county in Michigan. For information about the feral swine issue, please go to the DNRE Feral Swine site.
