[Peace-discuss] a better solution for excess geese

[Debra Schrishuhn]

Folks,

I just talked to a city planner and she confirmed what has been stated
here--that the geese are attracted to man-made ponds with manicured
bluegrass lawns down to the water's edge. Apparently a fair amount of
research exists on plants and the height of bank vegetation that geese do
not like. She suggests an ordinance be brought before both city councils to
end the practice of making retention pond and to plant their banks with
vegetation known to be unpalatable to geese.  Although this solution may
not be acceptable all over the Twin Cities, at the very least Crystal Lake
Park could rethink their bank vegetation and overall landscaping.
