When I was a kid, there were few geese in SC. Now they are everywhere. If I had a lawn on a lake, I would have the biggest goose chasing dog I could find.
Don’t mow (and fertilize) down to the lake edge. Leave a buffer (maybe 20 - 30ft.) that is roughish and tall & most of the geese will visit your neighbors.
We don’t have a goose problem. no matter what adjective you use. With shoreland zoning you cannot lawn to waters edge. 100 feet native plant buffer. Love your alders.
Loons and geese do not make good friends.
I have the popcorn out for the grammar contest.
Well, if we want to get really technical the correct name is Branta canadensis
Ditto here about the illegality of planting grass down to the shore. Our zoning ordinance states: “Landscaping and Lawns are not considered natural vegetation and shall not be permitted within fifty (50) feet of a Lake or one hundred fifty (150) feet of a lake or stream.”
Not sure what the difference is between “Lake” and “lake”.

Lake:
I think, in this country we have 5 of them, you know, because they’re ‘Great’
lake:
everything else, because, while they may be great lakes, they aren’t Great Lakes.
(kind of like geese, while they may be Canada Geese, they may or may not be Canadian)
