I am inquiring about a small parcel of land with a swamp adjacent to Lake Michigan in Delta County. The swamp area is rife with what I am pretty certain is Water Hemlock. The swamp is approximately 40ft x 90ft with a small sand & vegetation barrier prior to the beachfront. I am hoping to gather some advisement on best practices to remove/reduce this plant from taking over the sliver of land. It is on a lot with pets and children present!
