Unfortunately, if the geese are currently nesting, you cannot touch the nest or eggs (or the geese) without a permit from the USDA and your state's wildlife management department. Canada geese are federally protected. After the goslings are hatched, you can use a variety of methods to move the geese. Goslings can walk up to a mile the day they are hatched, so the parents will walk them off site if sufficiently harassed.
Use a combination of methods (dogs, noise devices, physical barriers) to deter or repel geese; no single method used alone is usually effective. (Please note it is illegal to use a dog to harass Canada geese in the state of Pennsylvania when there are goslings on the ground. Check your state's regulations prior to any wildlife damage control work.)
It is important to start damage control measures as soon as you notice geese in your area. Be persistent! Never feed the geese. Where possible, let grass grow to its full height around water bodies. Fence ponds (3 feet in height is sufficient) prior to the molt (loss of flight feathers in early summer) to prevent access to water and discourage geese from remaining in the area when they are flightless. Encourage population management whenever possible.
Remember, federal and state permits are needed to handle geese or destroy eggs or nests.
