THE DIALOGUE

KILLING MORE THAN WEEDS ON WHAT’S ALL THE BLUE DYE AROUND WHITE ROCK LAKE?

“The killing of the Little League wildflowers in the outfields is most the noticeable result of the effort to eradicate unwanted vegetation at Winfrey Point this year. Only a tiny 8x8 foot area remains, the rest killed off by intense spraying of weed killer. Doubt me? Go look for yourself. Their spraying killed all the wildflowers. It will take years to rebuild.” —Ben S.

“Does the City of Dallas not employ certified Master Gardeners who specialize in organic care? Sadly, wildflowers are being killed instead of weeds. Little nesting killdeer are being displaced as well.”

—Tamie Oxley

“The city is missing a source of revenue here. If they skip the herbicide on the parking areas, in a couple years they’ll be covered with “weeds.” At which point the city can begin ticketing parked cars for parking on the grass, right? :-)” —wilson!
