According to municipal sources, from week 11 and at the latest until April 15, measures will be carried out on municipal land, including at bathing areas, in Sjöparken in Alvesta and in Torpsbruk. The purpose of the measure is to reduce the number of Canada geese in areas where they cause problems. The geese often leave large amounts of droppings behind, which can create litter and degrade the environment at popular bathing spots.
By using scare shots, the municipality hopes to get the geese to move away from these areas. The effort is part of the municipality's work to keep bathing and park areas clean and pleasant for visitors. The exact method or frequency of the scare shots has not been specified.
It is also unknown how many Canada geese are currently in the affected areas.
