<p>Canada Geese and Cackling Geese can cause damage by eating vegetation, and mess by leaving droppings. In some urban settings they can pose a further nuisance by alarming members of the public.

They are often associated with stormwater management ponds. As many forms of LID reduce or eliminate standing water, the habitat for geese is reduced.

<li>Mow less frequently. <br> Geese prefer to eat the shorter, younger shoots of turf grass. Reducing mowing saves maintenance budget, and on [[vegetation filter strips]] and in [[enhanced grass swales]] the roughness (Manning's 'n') is increased. Increased roughness slows flow, allowing more water to infiltrate into the soil. </li>

Low impact development technologies reduce the amount of standing water compared to traditional stormwater ponds. However there are a few additional design recommendations that can reduce mosquito habitat even further

Encouraging populations of bats, birds, dragonflies and other natural predators is worthwhile for improving biodiversity.

They create preferential flow paths, of course they're a problem!
