PLEASE SAY NO TO ANY LAKE ASSOCIATION’S PLAN TO KILL CANADA GEESE BY GASSING THEM

As of 2025, the DNR would allow the rounding up and only killing of all geese from a lake, including Belle Isle Park, by gassing them, and not relocating. However, the DNR has decided to pause the program for this year and will not be issuing any permits.

Even though the DNR will not be implementing lethal measures in 2025, it is uncertain if they will be utilizing and recommending only non-lethal options to Lakeshore homeowners for managing human-goose conflicts, beginning with 2026.

Please continue to let State officials know that moving forward, you oppose the killing of all geese on our lakes and want only effective, science-based, non-lethal measures used.
