To estimate lesser snow geese populations and determine the effects of geese herbivory along the Hudson Bay in the Northwest Territories, nesting and population surveys were conducted along with plant species frequency and fecal counts. Aerial photographs were taken in June 1985 to count nesting birds, while population surveys were done from an airplane in 1977, 1980, 1981, and 1985. The geese population survey in 1978 was done with aerial photographs. Plant frequency and nest and fecal counts were conducted on seven non-degraded sites and five degraded sites in 1985.
