Parks director wants residents to stop feeding geese - Roswell Daily Record

Copyright © 2021 Roswell Daily Record It’s not illegal to feed wild animals in New Mexico, but the city’s special services and parks director would rather people not feed the ducks and geese at the J. Kenneth Smith Bird Sanctuary. The city moved about 60 waterfowl in May last year from the pond at Spring River Zoo, 1306 E. College Blvd., to the J. Kenneth Smith Bird Sanctuary, 401 N. Sycamore Ave., as renovations began on the zoo pond. Jim Burress, Special Services and Parks director, said that move was done with approval of the New Mexico Game and Fish Department. The process of cleaning and draining the zoo pond began in March 2020, where decades of debris and silt were removed. Some areas were made deeper and angles of the banks reshaped. New landscaping will be added along with picnic tables and other amenities.
