Section 5: OPA Board Subject: No-Goose Grass Msg# 1143970

Killing any overpopulation of resident Canada geese is the only control method that will work on the ponds along 589.
Plantings are only effective during the short period when the geese cannot fly. OPA should not again allow fowl to turn to foul because of animal rights advocates Who have taken over the committee. Just prior to the killing of about 300 geese a few years ago, the amount of goose poop around the Veterans Memorial was absolutely disgusting. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Research shows vegetation buffers do work. I think the attempt "failed" because residents complained that it looked "messy" or blocked their view and thus a previous GM just rounded up the geese and gassed them. It is my opinion that with education and more attractive strategically placed native plantings (and more of the public not wanting to kill the geese), there will be a different outcome. I have confidence in the ENA Committee and their expertise on this matter. They are extremely dedicated and wish to find an environmentally friendly solution. The Discussion is to just bring the Board and the Public up-to-date on the matter. It's my goal to communicate clearly to the Board and the homeowners what is happening. FYI: the Southgate Pond yesterday was absolutely beautiful!!! |
