Towns Take On Canada Geese

Laptop Battery The mowed lawns, golf courses and ballfields that have grown with suburban sprawl over the past 10 to 15 years have also been popular with Canada geese that call New Jersey their home.

Microsoft But the 96,800 geese who live year-round in New Jersey have long worn out their welcome. They have dropped thousands of pounds of bacteria-laden feces on New Jersey's lawns and waterways, chewed up crops and grass and sometimes chased humans who got a little to close.

Laptop Computers Counties, towns, schools and corporations with huge campuses have been battling the geese over the years with everything from treating lawns with chemicals, unleashing trained dogs, disturbing nests and, in extreme cases, euthanizing.

Over the past 30 to 40 years, Canada geese have learned that food is so readily available in places like the Forsythe refuge that they don't move out during the winter months, Atzert said. called resident Canada geese make a steady diet of the refuge's lush, green grasses. But in the early part of the fall, when the muddy banks of the marsh should be overgrown with vegetation, the geese have already eaten away large patches of grass. Other birds, like migratory Canada geese, have little food to rebuild their fat stores, Atzert said.

Laptop Computer While killing the resident geese should not be the goal, officials at a Goose Damage Management Workshop in Madison said yesterday, their population must continue to be controlled. But just chasing geese out, just using chemicals or just altering a habitat does not guarantee a reduction in geese population. The most effective control is not done through one effort, but by integrating several approaches.

Desktop Computer "There is no one thing we can tell you about to solve the goose problem," said Janet Bucknall, director of the state office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services.

Notebooks The target is the resident geese population, not the migratory waterfowl that spend the winter in the state before returning to northern Canada. When both are in the state, officials estimate the geese population increases to 190,000.

Lenovo One goose drops three-quarters of a pound of feces a day. Fifty geese drop more than 13,500 pounds a year, said George Van Orden of the Hanover Township Regional Health Department, who studies fecal contamination of water resources.

Hard Drive "In order for New Jersey to resolve this, you have to control geese throughout the entire state, and you have to use an integrated approach," Van Orden said.

Travelstar First, towns must enforce "no feeding" ordinances, which most towns already have, Bucknall said. The chances of ordinances solving the problem are slim, but it will likely keep geese from getting too comfortable with people.

Gateway Union County officials have pledged to enforce the rules by handing out tickets after first making the public aware with warning brochures, said Betty Ann Kelly, a county environmental specialist.

Laptop Parts The next step, Bucknall suggests, is combining efforts. One such way is altering a landscape and treating eggs. Growing tall grasses or wild flowers around a pond area will make geese uncomfortable with an area because they can no longer easily monitor their surroundings and potential predators.

Software "It does not reduce a population. It makes it less inviting," said Jeremiah Bergstrom, project manager for TRC Omni Environmental Corp., a private consulting firm in Princeton.

Hard Drives The only problem: overgrown grass is unattractive not only to geese but also to humans.

Electronics "Often what you like is what geese like. In your back yard, you don't want long grass. You want to play baseball with your kids," Bucknall said.

Canon Egg addling -- disturbing nests by shaking, puncturing or oiling young eggs and then putting them back in their nests -- can be used to reduce a population of geese after receiving a permit. If eggs are simply removed, geese will likely lay another egg. But there is no guarantee it will always work, said Bucknall, providing more reason for combined approaches.

Desktop Pc A combination of these efforts has been successful in Burnham Park in Morristown, where volunteers and representatives from TRC planted tall wetland flowers and grasses as a buffer around the park's lake.

Desktop Computers Another approach that can also be combined with these efforts is harassment -- chasing out geese with dogs or noise.

Think Pad Dogs have been used as a harassment method on Union County golf courses, and it has worked well. But county officials have acknowledged it's not enough and needs to be combined with other approaches. The county has received permits for addling and removing.

Repair "It's a quick fix for golf courses. It's not really a solution for the problem overall," said Dan Bernier, director of the division of park planning and maintenance. "We realize we need to do everything. Attack from every angle."

Data Recovery But some areas don't plan to go beyond harassment.

Cisco For the past three years, Parsippany's method of unleashing a border collie to shoo geese off local parks, golf courses and school fields every day has cut geese populations down from 1,500 to between 30 and 50, Parks Supervisor Jim Walsh said. The trained dog cost Parsippany about $4,000. Goose Control Inc. charges as little as $350 a month and as much as $1,500 a month for professional dog services.

Keyboard At the County College of Morris, staff in the grounds department have been scaring off geese from athletic fields by chasing them with lawn mowers, and problems have been slight, said Tony Battista, supervisor of custodial and grounds.

Monitor And at the Flanders Valley Golf Course, run by the Morris County Parks Commission, it's scare guns "every day, all day" that push geese off the grounds, said Kurt Mazzucco, assistant superintendent.

Desktop But all harassment does is push geese from one town to another, said Charles Fischer, chairman of Denville's Environmental Commission.

Infosys "All we're doing is chasing them to Denville to Madison to Boonton. Somebody's got to bite the bullet," said Fischer.

Refurbished Laptops Hanover introduced euthanization by carbon dioxide a year ago at its sewerage plant authority, where the problem was getting too far out of control.

Wipro "The problem was so bad. It was horrific. They tried everything, and couldn't get rid of the goose population," Van Orden said.

Lap Top Some areas are still struggling to find the right solution. In Jefferson, officials had been using chemicals, but the $200 per acre chemical was too cost-prohibitive, prompting the idea of using dogs. Still the problem seems too big to resolve, said Roland Sparling, supervisor of parks.

Refurbished "Does something have to be done? Yes. What's the answer? That's another question," said Sparling.
