Canada Geese | mtmorrislakes

- Effective methods and suggestions for how to control the impact of Canada Geese on our lakes are always welcome by the District.
- A Canada Goose Round-Up plan is one method used, and we work within the guidelines of the Forest Service to complete the permit process.
- All property owners are mailed permits for permission to enter their land to identify geese nests and to round-up, capture, and remove geese.
- Property owners have to approve access to their property to secure and capture the geese.
- Oiling of eggs with peanut oil takes a special permit requiring a sign-off by three different government agencies. We do not exercise oiling of nests.
- We coordinate all activities concerning geese management with the Forest Service, USDA, Wildlife Services (Mike Jones), and our volunteers.
- Geese are tested for disease by the USDA before they are sent in for food processing.
- There will be no Canada Goose Round-up for this year There are not enough geese on the lake this year to warrant the cost and effort of removal.
- THERE ARE NO CURRENT PLANS TO CONTROL GEESE AT THIS TIME. THE GEESE POPULATION REMAINS STABLE.
