On the down side, Cleveland National Forest is a coastal hill range, only 5000 feet elevation at its highest point but mostly a 70-80% grade. The cover is Oak and coastal chaparral, almost impenetrable in places. It runs from Orange county South almost to the Mexican border.

The pigs will do very well in that environment. That Native Americans turned a couple dozen loose is really pretty inconsequential in the grand scheme. It just sped up the process a little is all.
Scanning some of the old newspaper articles, it looks like hogs have been a problem in the Cleveland National Forest for a while, at least since 1998.
