Issues with Geese on the Lake & YardGeese can pose several challenges when they inhabit our inland lake, your property or when you come in contact with them. For example: • Your Health: Goose droppings carry E.coli and other pathogens, enhance allergic reactions from feathers, dander and dusts from nests and they can get aggressive. • Water Quality Impact: Geese droppings carry nutrients that fuel harmful algal blooms. These blooms weaken fish and wildlife habitats, and even your enjoyment of the water. • Nutrient Overload: The substantial supply of nutrients into the lake can lead to several health issues, including algae blooms. • Property Damage: Geese graze on grass and plants. Their aggressive behavior and droppings can damage lawns, gardens, grassy areas, and other landscaping. • Noise: Geese tend to be noisy, which can be disruptive to the peace and quiet of lakefront properties. DO NOT FEED THE GEESE! Remember, maintaining a balance between enjoying the natural beauty of geese and managing their impact is essential for both your property and our lake environment.
