Oncor is pausing tree trimming on the east side of White Rock Lake to protect wildlife.
The company released the news in a Feb. 19 update. The East Zacha area, where the trimming has been paused, includes Lake Highlands Park.
On Feb. 15, the bald eagles’ nest fell from a cottonwood tree at Lake Highlands Park because of high wind gusts. A fence had been installed around the tree to provide a buffer between people and the eagles, and officials decided to leave the fence in place in case the eagles stuck around for a while.
According to the update, Oncor will work with the environmental department and the City of Dallas to reschedule the tree trimming in the East Zacha area.
Wright Tree Service, the company undertaking the tree trimming, is scheduled to be working on the following streets through Feb. 25 (outlined in yellow in the above map): Carrousel Circle, Bob O Link Drive, Lyre Lane, Santa Barbara Drive, Charade Drive, Dominique Drive, Fisher Road, Greentree Lane, W. Circle Drive, Twin Tree Lane, Greenbrook Lane, E. Mockingbird Lane, Brookcove Lane, Hillgreen Drive, Dalewood Lane, Westbrook Lane and Middlebury Drive.
