The Annual North Country Goose Roundup

Event date and time

Event description

Come join us as Nature Up North teams up with the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for this year's roundup!  Each year, at the end of June, Canada Geese lose their flight feathers during the seasonal molt and are flightless for anywhere from twenty to forty days.  During this time, researchers take advantage to survey the geese in hopes of better tracking their numbers and migration patterns. Come help us corral in geese by canoe or on foot and enjoy a tasty barbecue meal after our efforts.
