Fall Line Wildlife Solutions is a nonprofit organization committed to assisting farmers and landowners with responsible wildlife management while creating meaningful outdoor opportunities for youth who may otherwise never have the opportunity to experience them.
The mission of Fall Line Wildlife Solutions is to protect agricultural lands, natural resources, and native wildlife through responsible wildlife management while using those same conservation efforts to create educational and outdoor opportunities for less fortunate youth.
We strive to build partnerships between farmers, landowners, conservation professionals, businesses, families, and communities so that protecting Alabama's natural resources also creates opportunities to give back to the next generation.
Protect Agriculture
Feral hog monitoring, damage documentation and producer assistance.
Manage Feral Swine
Science-based monitoring and whole-sounder trapping coordination.
Restore the Land
Document damage and help restore agricultural land and habitat.
Invest in Youth
Hunter Education, outdoor experiences, conservation education and future scholarships.
Feral swine populations are firmly established throughout Barbour, Bullock, and Russell Counties, Alabama. Although no comprehensive county-level census currently exists, available USDA distribution data and regional population-density research indicate that feral swine populations within each of these counties likely number in the thousands, with localized agricultural and riparian areas capable of supporting substantially higher densities.
Did you know?
Feral swine do much more than damage crops.
Their rooting, feeding, and wallowing behaviors can destroy agricultural fields, damage pastures, disturb soil, increase erosion, contaminate water sources, damage wildlife habitat, and compete with native wildlife for valuable food and resources.
They may also prey upon eggs, young wildlife, reptiles, amphibians, and other native species.
For farmers and landowners, the effects can mean damaged crops, damaged equipment, lost productivity, increased repair costs, and significant financial loss.
For wildlife and the environment, unchecked feral swine populations can create long-term damage to the ecosystems that native species depend upon.
Managing feral swine is not simply about hunting hogs. It is about protecting agriculture, conserving habitat, supporting landowners, and protecting the future of our natural resources.
or many young people, hunting, fishing, conservation, and outdoor education are traditions they may never have the opportunity to experience.
FLWS wants to change that.
Through partnerships with landowners, volunteers, conservation professionals, churches, businesses, and community supporters, we work to provide less fortunate youth with opportunities to experience hunting and the outdoors in a safe, positive, and educational environment.
Our youth efforts are about much more than harvesting an animal.
We want young participants to learn:
Hunter safety and firearm responsibility
Respect for wildlife
Conservation and wildlife management
Land stewardship
Outdoor ethics
Responsibility and patience
The importance of giving back
Our goal is to provide experiences that create confidence, memories, mentorship, and an appreciation for the outdoors that can last a lifetime.
Just imagine... A group of kids being able to invest themselves into land, wildlife, and brotherhood! A group of children that full throttle believe in themselves and this program that get to not only hunt but to fully experience the great outdoors! From assisting farmers with feral hogs, studying feral hog damage, learning to document farm damage and crop loss to studying wildlife, soil and water for diseases and parasites.
Help Us Complete the Circle
At Fall Line Wildlife Solutions, we believe conservation creates opportunities.
By helping farmers protect their land, we develop relationships with the landowners who make conservation possible. Through those relationships, we can create opportunities for young people to learn about wildlife, hunting, agriculture, conservation, and responsible land stewardship.
Protect the farmer. Protect the land. Protect the wildlife. Invest in the next generation.
That is the mission of Fall Line Wildlife Solutions.
