Organizations

A statewide educational agency that connects Texans with science-based information through county offices, specialists, and public programs. Its feral-hog resources help landowners and residents understand hog biology, recognize damage, and evaluate management options.

A Texas A&M institute focused on natural-resource conservation and private-land stewardship through applied research, education, and policy. Its wild-pig work connects research with practical information for landowners, wildlife managers, and communities dealing with hog impacts.

Texas’s state agency for conserving natural and cultural resources and providing hunting, fishing, and outdoor recreation opportunities. Its wildlife resources include public information on wild-pig ecology, damage, and management, alongside broader habitat-conservation and landowner guidance.

A federal wildlife-damage management program within the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. Wildlife Services leads APHIS’s feral-swine damage management work, combining field operations, research, disease monitoring, and public education to protect agriculture, natural resources, property, and health.

A Houston-based land trust, in operation since 1996, that has protected nearly 14,000 acres — work that helps supply drinking water to roughly 85% of the greater Houston area. Their focus area is explicitly north Harris and Montgomery Counties, the same ground we work in, and feral hogs are a direct threat to the streams and habitat they have spent nearly three decades protecting.

A Woodlands-based sustainability research nonprofit founded in 1982 by George P. Mitchell. HARC's scientists have published research tying feral hog activity to water-quality decline in Houston-area watersheds.

A Central Texas nonprofit ministry (confirmed 501(c)(3)) that traps and processes feral hogs and distributes the meat directly to people in need. Their identity is unapologetically faith-based.

Note: Not to be confused with the similarly named “Hogs for the Cause” — a large, unrelated New Orleans pediatric-cancer fundraising festival. Different organization entirely.

One of the largest independent agricultural research nonprofits in the country, based in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Noble has spent decades helping farmers and ranchers build healthier land through regenerative practices — feral hog education is part of that broader mission.

A statewide Texas nonprofit dedicated to wildlife and habitat conservation alongside property-rights advocacy and hunting heritage.
