Booming population of wild boar in the Forest of Dean
July 2013. The population of wild boar in the Forest of Dean continues to grow, and with no natural predators the only way to keep the population in check is culling, according to the Forestry Commission and many others.
Whilst we all love to see wild boar running wild in the woods and forests, they can be highly destructive, especially to grassy areas (Lawns and pitches) but also occasionally to some crops, including maize; They can also make a serious dent in the front of a car. No one yet, thankfully, has suggested that boar are once again eradicated from the UK, it may be too late to do that anyway, but in some areas it is now considered necessary to control their numbers by culling.
