Illinois Park Struggles With Canada Geese

A local park in Moline, Illinois has been overtaken by Canada geese, and many residents are not pleased.

Although these animals are beautiful, in large numbers they can easily wreak havoc on a public space like Ben Butterworth Parkway. Members of the public say the geese often leave behind a big mess, and although the city put up a white fence in an effort to stop geese from waddling onto the land from the nearby water, it hasn’t solved the problem entirely

While some geese have turned away once they encountered the fence, some community members say it’s not enough. One resident even made light of the situation by posting a political statement on a sign that says: “Forget the Fence, build a Wall. Make Canada pay for it.”

It’s a humorous way of poking fun at the Moline government and President Trump as the community continues to search for a better solution to keep goose gunk out of the park for good.

I am a multimedia journalist and proud graduate from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism & Mass Communication. I am originally from Minnesota, and I love learning about my second home, Arizona, and all of it's awesome communities through my contributions to My Local News! When I was a little girl, I created my own "newspaper" for my neighborhood and spent all my time writing, printing and sending each edition to my loyal subscribers (AKA my family and neighbors!). Now, it's a dream come true to be able to write everyday and have a positive impact on communities through my reporting. In my free time, I love to travel, hike, cook and spend time with my family and friends.
