VIRGINIA WILDLIFE TO ADVISE ON GOOSE PROBLEM

If you live or walk near the common areas surrounding the pond or Arts center, you have notice the amount of geese droppings has increased many folds.

In addition, the geese have now spread out into other areas of Chester Village Green.

In an effort to control the droppings and the number of geese in the area, Tom Bidrowski from the Virginia Dept. of Game & Inland Fisheries has agreed to come out on 3-3-09, 10:00 AM, at the Arts Center Office to review and discuss our situation. (If you would like to meet with them, please contact our HOA manager, Florence Harrison, see left sidebar.)

Due to a last minute scheduling conflict,Tom Bidrowski, Waterfowl Project Leader, Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, has rescheduled his visit to Chester Village Green to Tuesday,March 3,2009 at 10:00 AM, at the Arts Center Office.


Our goal is to control the number of geese and their roaming areas.
