Canada Geese - Permits
This page is for those interested or participating in the Nuisance Canada Goose Program. The program has been developed to give private landowners (including businesses and other commercial entities) options to address goose-human conflicts on their sites. The main focus is on resident Canada geese, which remain in Michigan year-round and are typically responsible for most conflicts.
