The Geese at Forest Cemetery are taking over the place. The streets, grass, stones, are covered in dung. The geese take out your loved ones flowers, stain their stones, and lay all over them. I can not even get to my little girl without shooing them away, and having dung all over the grass. This can be a health issue and the CDC should become aware of this plus the DNR. The office lady at Forest even told me they breed the geese “in the back.” The cemetery is adding to the population. They peck, bite,and are very loud. Forest is no longer a place to walk, reflect, or just sit at your loved ones grave. How very sad.
