CONCLUSION:

As recognized from an earlier assessment, the population of Canada Goose occurring on the Detroit River and in the riverfront parks is very different from those geese populations occurring on storm water retention and other inland pond features. While more effective control can be delivered on storm water retention and other inland pond features this provides no benefit to the far greater number of visitors to the riverfront parks.

Parks Operations with support from Parks Horticulture will attempt to keep the evidence of geese off riverfront parkland hard surfaces where practical and develop a control and clean sweep program if equipped to do so.
