In an effort to curtail the number of geese and reduce pathogen exposure and nitrogen loading in surface water around Southampton Town, the Southampton Town Board is looking make it illegal for residents to feed the flock on public property.
On Tuesday, Southampton Town board members passed a resolution calling for a public hearing on their proposal that makes it a crime to "distribute or otherwise disseminate on public property any type of foodstuff, including, but not limited to, corn, wheat, or other grains, bread, crackers, popcorn, scraps, or any other substance or foodstuff so as to make it available to be eaten by a goose or geese."
The hearing will be held on June 26 at 6 p.m. at .

Canada geese were here before the european settlements came in numbers so large they were known to darken the sky. They posed no threat to the ecosystem then and they certianly pose no threat now in their vastly diminished numbers. It is those who regard the geese as pests and would eliminate them, even as they themselves continue to dump fertilizer everywhere poisoning the bays, that are the real problem. Southampton, Snap Out Of It !
