AR-News: (US-nj)Wash. Twp. works to roust geese

[Animalconcerns]

The biggest threat to Canada geese that call the sprawling township home

It's a border collie named Holly.

Her job is to harass the geese until they vacate the township's parks and
lakes, where their droppings create a messy health hazard.

Many suburban communities pay private firms to tackle their goose problem.

"We call her an environmental relocation unit," said Bob Gruber,
Washington Township's chief park ranger, with a laugh.
