TYLER — A non-native plant is once again taking over East Texas lakes, and has members of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department scrambling to do something about it. KETK reports that the plant is called hydrilla, and the problem is not only how fast it’s spreading, but how thick it can be. Officials say hydrilla can threaten lakes’ plants and fish. TPW crews surveyed the 65-acre Tyler State Park lake for hydrilla Tuesday.
