Welcome
to the Resident Canada Goose Nest and Egg Registration Site. If you are
a landowner,
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 register employees or agents who may conduct
the work on you behalf. You must be at least 18 years of age to register. Nests and eggs may be taken
only between March 1 and June 30.
You must return to this site by October 31 to report
the number of nests with eggs you destroyed, and the date (month) and location (county).
You must report even if you conduct no activity. You will not be able to register
for future seasons if you have an outstanding report.
