Dublin prohibits feeding of deer and waterfowl (geese) in parks and public spaces. Intentional wildlife feeding attracting nuisance animals can be cited as a public nuisance.
Scioto River corridor and Dublin's many ponds host large Canada goose populations. The city and Ohio Division of Wildlife discourage feeding to reduce nuisance droppings and habituation. Deer feeding is regulated under ORC 1531 and Ohio Wildlife Council rule restrictions during disease outbreaks (CWD).
