Wildlife Issues

 

Residents have expressed concern over the growing resident goose population.  We are constantly investigate solutions to help keep human-goose conflicts to a minimum.  We ask that everyone helps contribute to a solution and Don't Feed the Geese.  Check out information on homeowner actions that can help with control of goose populations in your yard at the University of Minnesota's Homeowner's Guide.
