Management of Nuisance Geese on School Properties and Public Spaces
Abstract Conflicts with Canada geese (Branta canadensis) (Linnaeus, 1758, Anseriformes, Anatidae) have increased during the past three decades. Goose conflicts included feces on turf areas and paved surfaces, slippage on athletic fields and playing surfaces, overgrazing of turfgrass, and noise or ag...
