These are domestic iron-age type pigs, not wild boar, but they HAVE escaped from their field, and they ARE running wild in the woods in Glenlyon today.

We are experienced woodland advisors with over 80 years of experience between us, and we combine this with a refreshing and pragmatic approach to helping woodland occupiers to work out what they should do with their woodlands and associated open ground. We all have wider skills than just woodland management and can advise on a wide range of farm, deer, river conservation and wildlife management projects. We are happy to hear from other who might be interested in joining us.

And, will they root around and disturb the beech regen, do you think? No, they will want the beech to grow to maturity, so they can feed on beech mast!! Interesting experiment. Pigs roam free in the New Forest, but I have not read anything about the environmental benefits or impacts of this. Would be useful to know.
So what? There in the wild, as long as the farm isnt abandon who cares?
