Falls Twp. Approves Ongoing Geese Management Services

The Falls Township Board of Supervisors has approved a year-long geese mitigation plan in its effort to reduce the number of geese found at Falls Township Community Park.

Since 2015, the township has attempted to rid the park of Canada geese.

Prior to mitigation efforts beginning, the park saw around 100 to 120 geese consistently visit and nest in the area.

Over the past 10 years, goose numbers have significantly fallen, thanks to the many methods integrated into the park.

The township doesn’t appear to be slowing down on its geese mitigation efforts. The supervisors have unanimously approved a new year-long contract for 2026 to Geese Chasers of Southeastern PA.

The Yardley-based company has presented an all-encompassing, multifaceted program that focuses on both nest clearing and maintenance, officials said.

“This is very effective,” Supervisors Chairman Jeff Dence said. “The dogs chase them off the soccer fields. The geese learn very quickly.”

Geese Chasers will focus on making multiple visits to the park on a daily basis once the 12-week nesting season begins. To keep geese out of the park, Geese Chasers will use border collies to chase them away, officials said.

“This frequent harassment will eventually clear any resident geese from your property and keep them from returning and nesting,” Geese Chasers explained in the proposal given to the Board of Supervisors.

The goal of the Geese Chasers is to ensure that the geese recognize that the park is not a safe place to visit or nest.

“Our maintenance program assures that the geese in the area know that your property is not a safe place for them,” the company said. “Our program triggers the predatory response inherent in geese. Also, any migrating geese looking for a place to feed, roost, or nest will move on when exposed to our methods.”

During the daily visits, Geese Chasers will concentrate on the park’s lake and lake perimeter, as well as the common ground, fields, canal areas, marshes, and creeks.

The board has approved this new program at the same price paid for geese services in 2025—$1,440 a month, resulting in a total of $17,280 a year. However, these services are forecasted to rise in price in the near future at about $10 per month, resulting in a monthly rate of $1,450 in 2027 and $1,460 in 2028.
