Goose Management Training - FREE

Goose Management Presentation 

The City of New Brighton is working with residents to implement new ways to manage the wild goose population. A free training will be offered to residents who have concerns about geese on their property or who want to help control the population by focusing on nestling sites. 

The training will consist of information from the United States Humane Society and the Department of Natural Resources with demonstrations and discussion to follow. Topics include: the difference between resident and migratory geese, mating and nesting habits, egg addling (oiling) procedures to manage the populations, and other nonlethal methods that homeowners can use on their property to deter geese. Those attending the presentation will learn how to search for nests and addle eggs during the early nesting season so the eggs do not hatch. 

Participants may volunteer with the City of New Brighton and can be registered with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department and the Department of Natural Resources to assist the city with goose mitigation efforts if they wish. Although the class is free, registration is required. The registration deadline is Monday, March 5. Call 651-638-2123 to Register.
