Geese[edit]

Canada Geese and Cackling Geese can cause damage by eating vegetation and leave 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.

However, geese have even been found nesting on extensive green roofs in our region. So here are some tips on control:

Diggy creatures[edit]

Are they a problem?

Mosquitoes[edit]

A mesh size of 1.5 mm or smaller is recommended where a screen is used to exclude mosquitoes from a tank or other standing water[1].

Humans[edit]

Vandalism exists. Recommend signage and engagement.
