Welcome
to the Resident Canada Goose Nest and Egg Registration Site. If you are a
landowner, homeowner’s association, public land manager, or local government in
the lower 48 states or the District of Columbia, you may register at this site
for federal authorization to destroy resident Canada goose nests and eggs on
property under your jurisdiction.
You must register each year prior to taking nests
and eggs. You must register between January 1 and June 30 of the year in which
the nests and eggs will be destroyed. You must also enter the individual names
of employees or agents who may conduct the work on your behalf. You must be at
least 18 years of age to register.
Each registrant must return to this site by
October 31 to report the number of nests with eggs which were destroyed, for
each month and location county. You must report even if you conducted no
activity. You will not be able to register for future seasons if you have an
outstanding report after 12/31 of the present year..
Please note that some states do not participate in this registration program or have additional
or stricter requirements. It is very important
