The Wood County Park District has issued the following statement:
Visitors to the W.W. Knight Nature Preserve will notice measures being taken to discourage Canada Geese from residing in the park. These measures will not harm the geese. Rather, they will disrupt park features that the geese find appealing – encouraging them to go elsewhere.
Two examples of these disruptions are coyote decoys that will be regularly moved around the pond, and a temporary, low fence along portions of the pond that will discourage easy access to the water. These measures will remain in place until July, and their efficacy will be evaluated.
For more information regarding these temporary measures, please contact Steve Thomson, Park Police Chief, (419)353-1897.
For general Park District questions, call Park District Headquarters at 419-353-1897.
