BOSTON (WHDH) - The Boston City Council will hold a public hearing Tuesday to discuss how to protect the parks and playgrounds from goose droppings.

City officials say geese leave behind up to three pounds of droppings every day.

People in local parks have noticed excrement piling up, and officials are looking for a way to decrease the amount of droppings.

Wildlife experts will testify to see if they can figure out how much it will cost to fix the problem.

The meeting will be held in the Iannella Chambers on the fifth floor of Boston City Hall at 1:00 p.m.
