Help Control Geese Damage at Lake Mansfield - Do not tamper with geese deterrents!

Please support our Parks and Public Works Department in efforts to discourage Canada Geese at Lake Mansfield. In July last year we needed to close the lake due to water quality issues directly related to geese.
This year the town is trying preemptive measures to keep the beach area and lake water clean and open for recreation. Deterrents will be installed soon. These deterrents include lights that discourage geese from sleeping and nesting at the lake, stationary deterrents in the beach area, and an occasional wildlife control noise maker designed to move geese out of the beach and surrounding area. Note: These deterrents do not harm geese
