Telling av gåseekskrementer
I perioden 10. – 12. mai vil det bli foretatt tellinger av gåseekskrementer på gress og kornarealer i Nord-Trøndelag. Tellingen vil finne sted fra Overhalla i nord til Skogn/Ekne i sør. Vi håper at alle grunneiere setter pris på at denne jobben blir gjort, da denne datainnsamlingen vil kunne gi svar på belastningen som er på de ulike arealene.

Også grunneiere som IKKE har friarealer vil bli besøkt da en rekke kontrollområder er blitt valgt ut.
