2013 Spring Snow Goose Conservation Order – VERMONT

Permit and Survey Form

The special spring conservation order for snow geese is designed to increase harvest of these birds, which have increased to one million birds in the Atlantic Flyway and now threaten the long-term health of the ecosystems they inhabit.  As a requirement for establishing a spring conservation order in Vermont, we must collect information on hunter participation and snow goose harvest.  This information will help managers assess effectiveness of the spring conservation order for reducing snow goose populations.
