Important message from the Christchurch Botanic Gardens
The team at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens have shared a message for Christchurch residents and visitors to the Gardens to be aware of.
What you need to know:
- Wolf decoys are being used within the Gardens to deter Canada geese. They said 'Geese have become widespread in the Gardens recently and are wreaking havoc on our waterways, paths and lawns with the sheer amount of poop they produce.'
So far the wolves, a natural predator of geese, are working well. The rangers often move them around so the geese don't get used to their presence.
- There's also been some incidents of the 'wolves' being stolen and injured, so please let the Christchurch Botanic Gardens team know if you see any suspicious behaviour.
- Most importantly, Christchurch Botanic Gardens are asking visitors to please refrain from feeding the geese - it's bad for the environment, spreads disease, and creates stress and competition among the birds.
