Geese to be removed from Henley Lake
The Masterton Council is about to begin culling Canada geese at Henley Lake. There are currently 400 birds. It is hoped to reduce the population by around 30 per cent. The geese will be captured and transported live from the park.
In other parts of the geese are considered a major pest. Their droppings can carry diseases such as avian influenza, campylobacter, Escherichia coli, and salmonella, and large populations foul waterways.
What do you think, are the geese a pest?

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
