August Goose Surveys will be conducted in Connecticut by the Department of Environmental Conservation | They are looking for volunteers to report sightings of geese | There will be 2 [two] separate sampling periods to assess population size of our resident geese. The 2 survey periods are August 10-12, and August 24-26. As in past years, DEP is looking for all observations of geese (collared and non-collared) during this period, anywhere in the state of Connecticut. Even if it is a "group" of only 1 [one]!
