Registration underway: Experience the unique opportunity to hunt the Greater Snow Goose and support the conservation of natural environments
QUÉBEC CITY, Feb. 21, 2018 /CNW/ - The Government of Canada is committed to protecting the environment and conserving and protecting healthy migratory bird populations. The controlled hunting program for the Greater Snow Goose is one of the methods used to reduce species overpopulation and support habitat conservation.
Today, Environment and Climate Change Canada is inviting waterfowl-hunting enthusiasts to enter a random draw for the Greater Snow Goose fall hunt. Offered to a limited number of hunters, this unique experience will take place from September 27 to October 24, 2018, in Cap Tourmente National Wildlife Area's extraordinary environment. The registration period ends on April 30, 2018.
The hunt helps to preserve the Greater Snow Goose population. The overabundance of geese degrades their habitat, which then harms other animal and plant species, decreasing regional biodiversity.
