The city is trying to get rid of a toxic plant called water hemlock with as little interaction with it as possible. That's why it has opted for chemical treatment, which some worry could affect wildlife.
Environmental Health News
Sandifer guessed that the water hemlock is likely more of a danger to exposed livestock or unwitting passersby who may accidentally touch the plant as they spend time at the lake. However, it also resembles plants people regularly consume, Dallas forester Chris McMaster said. As the city’s forester helping address harmful wildlife in Dallas, McMaster said, “I don’t look to chemicals first.” He said the city generally tries to use fewer chemicals in instances like this. For example, products containing glyphosate haven't been used at White Rock Lake in more than three years, McMaster said. “This kind of presents a unique scenario for us,” he said.
But he doesn’t want the glyphosate to spread either. McMaster said that’s why licensed professionals will apply glyphosate only in the immediate areas where hemlock has been located.
