am appealing to all those who have loved ones buried at Woodbine Cemetery in Oceanport. Please call the owner at (732) 229-7309 and request he employ a company called Goose Patrol. They supply border collies to control the destruction caused by the overpopulation of Canada geese. These birds roam freely defecating at will and destroying everything in their path.

Plants and greenery that take hours to lovingly place and plant are destroyed the very next day. Traveling with an old pair of shoes is a must so the feces that cover the entire cemetery will not decorate the carpeting in your car. The health hazard factor should also be a major concern.

Should not the final resting place of our loved ones be treated with dignity and respect?

Please call, and ask your friends and family to do the same.
