The Bulletin

From February 1991 till November 1996 regular bulletins were mailed to interested goose biologists from the National Environmental Research Institute in Kalø, Denmark. The 8th and last issue appeared in November 1996. Then Jesper Madsen announced his resignation as coordinator. As his successor I have now created this website for future communication. The contents of this website can be printed out, and they are available upon request for those who do not have access to the World Wide Web. It can be ordered from:
