COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Coldwater City Council approved a resolution on Monday night which authorizes the Branch Area Careers Center to manage a growing Canada goose population on city-owned land.
City Manager Keith Baker says The B.A.C.C. has requested to apply for a Michigan Department of Natural Resources permit for nest and egg destruction to address overpopulation, property damage, and health concerns near industrial stormwater retention ponds between State and Seeley Streets.
BACC Farm Director Matthew AcMoody says the process begins by flagging the nests
The B.A.C.C. will act as the city’s agent for a five-year period through 2031 to carry out humane, Michigan DNR-approved population control methods on city-owned property. Council gave a similar approval last fall for the Coldwater North Chain of Lakes.
