The plural of 'boar' can be either 'boar' or 'boars'. This is fine:

'...in south-eastern Poland, * wild boar stayed mainly in * beech-hornbeam stands...'

We'd only need 'the' where I have put asterisks if we are talking about a previously mentioned group of boar staying in previously-mentioned stands.
