Hello fellow birders and nature lovers. I hope this subject matter is appropriate for this listserve. 

My cousin, who lives just outside of L.A.  would like to restore his piece of land to a more natural state with native plants. He’s a birder and wants to make sure he doesn’t use any products that could harm his avian visitors, the beehive in his eucalyptus tree, or the nearby stream and its inhabitants. He has foxtails that have over run his property, and a local landscaper has suggested a product with the ingredient Triclopyr. 

He has done some research, but would really appreciate hearing opinions from folks who have experience restoring land. Is this product as benign for wildlife etc. as marketed? What’s a viable alternative - apparently pulling the foxtail hasn’t accomplished the desired results.

If this is not an appropriate subject matter, I'll understand if it needs to be deleted.

Thank you!

Happy birding,
