In collaboration with NIBIO and NINA, we have conducted a project using an automated laser system to keep geese away from pastureland. The first test site was Sortland in Lofoten, where we tested the system against pink-footed geese. Feedback indicates that goose-related problems have been drastically reduced along the entire fjord, with the test site itself remaining completely free of geese.
The second test site was at NIBIO Holt, which also resulted in goose-free areas. The project has now concluded, and an official report will be prepared.
