We had to show up at the park in the early morning. This way we could get all the geese while they were still at their nests. The kids’ job was to lure the geese away from the water with bread.
The kids and adults formed a great big circle around the geese so they had nowhere to go. Then some more people brought in some portable chain link fence pieces. We slowly closed in the circle and trapped the geese in the fence.
This was a great learning experience for all of us. We had fun working with the geese and serving our community. And we learned a lot about the work of USDA Wildlife Services.
We have decided we love going on field trips so much that we are going to launch a line of Field Trip Curriculum so other families can easily go on field trips too!
