In many areas of the United States and Canada, the Canada goose has adapted to urban landscapes, foraging on mowed lawns and nesting near ponds and reservoirs. Geese may congregate at parks, golf courses, and athletic fields and create nuisance situations. This manual helps wildlife professionals, turfgrass managers, and homeowners select appropriate management strategies for alleviating problems caused by resident, nonmigratory geese.
