Dallas park officials will treat areas around White Rock Lake with an herbicide Friday after highly toxic hemlock was found growing near the water....
Park visitors should avoid touching the highly toxic plant until the city eradicates it, officials said.
Maintenance crews with the parks and recreation department recently spotted “several populations” of water hemlock, a species of hemlock that grows in wet locations, along the lakefront, according to a draft news release. Hemlock is a highly toxic plant that grows to between about 1½ to 3 feet tall. The plant has small groups of white flowers in an umbrella formation, similar to a common yarrow or cow parsnip, the city said.
The city’s urban biologist examined the areas where the plant is growing and found that hand-pulling or mowing the areas would present too great a risk to city employees and the public.
