Geese swim peacefully near Chickamauga Marina a few miles from Chattanooga State.Officials at Chattanooga State are starting to learn – waterfowl do not scare easily.
After about 100 Canada geese were rounded up and killed in July by U.S. Department of Agriculture officials, some 25 have come to the school’s Amnicola Highway campus.
College officials said in July they did not know the geese would be euthanized. And the college will not stand to have the new gaggle killed. But now the school is taking measures to make the geese “less comfortable.”
Eva Lewis, associate vice president of the college, said Tuesday the new geese are welcome on campus — but she hopes they don’t bring friends.
