Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot

Program (USDA)

Scope: The Agriculture Department’s Natural Resources

Conservation Service seeks applications for the Feral

Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program to trap and

remove the animals where they have been determined

to be a threat.

Deadline: Nov. 5, 2020.

Funds: A total of up to $17 million with a ceiling for a

single award is $1.5 million. Awardees will be required to

provide at least a 25% match of the total project costs.

Eligibility: Applicants must carry out activities as part

of these pilot projects in Alabama, Hawaii, Mississippi,
