About Us
GeesePeace St. Louis is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all-volunteer organization, that provides a model program for the humane and effective management of urban Canada geese. Following the protocol of the national GeesePeace organization and the Humane World for Animals, we work in cooperation with the Humane Society of Missouri, Wildlife Rescue Center, Missouri Department of Conservation, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
Nest Management in Action
Two GeesePeace St. Louis specialists protect themselves and a goose, while exchanging wooden eggs for real ones. (Note the water jug for stage-testing the eggs.)
Preventing Further Nesting
Goose
deterrent mesh is placed around areas near a building, where proprietors
want to discourage geese from nesting. The birds will avoid ground that is
covered with this material.
Protecting Mama Goose and Humans
The same mesh that discourages nesting provides a sense
of security to geese who have already begun the process. This simple yet
ingenious idea, developed by an experienced GeesePeace St. Louis member,
actually keeps the gander from attacking people who approach. He and his mate
feel safe enough in their cordoned off home to leave passersby alone.
