Squeal on Pigs (Cameras installation)

Expand Image

As part of the Squeal on Pigs/Wild Boar control, Lamont County is installing cameras at specific locations to monitor boar traffic (including on or near private land) in the efforts to control and eradicate. These will be installed by a contractor during the next 2-3 weeks in a Lamont County vehicle with proper identification. This is an eight-month surveillance program developed in conjunction with Alberta Pork and Squeal on Pigs. Learn more about how wild boar is controlled in Alberta at: alberta.ca/wild-boar-in-alberta.aspx. This invasive pest cannot be controlled by hunting. Report a sighting or if you have questions, contact Lamont County Agricultural Services at 780-895-2585 or abinvasives.ca/squeal-on-pigs/  at 310-FARM (3276) and wildboar@gov.ab.ca.
