There was a NH Lakes Association sponsored water congress today in Meredith. I learned that one technique to keep geese from coming ashore is to grow vegetation along the shoreline. When geese can't see over the grasses and bushes from the water, they fear a predator is behind the barrier and look for somewhere else to come ashore. You can still access your shoreline by building the buffer in a maze like path, rather than a straight line. The plantings are called a riparian buffer, and also have a beneficial primary purpose of absorbing nutrients and sediment from rain water run-off.
