Poison Risk.

 

  Hemlock Water Dropwort Roots.

A considerable amount of Hemlock Water Dropwort has been cleared from the stream and left on the road side opposite. This is Britain's most poisones plant, and has recently proved fatal to a dog in Lyme Regis. A lamb was poisoned in the village last year, but thankfully survived. 

The roots have led to human deaths elsewhere, it being mistaken for wild parsnip which it closely resembles.

Do not let your dog eat the roots
