The purpose of this chapter is to protect and promote the public
health through the control of the growth of invasive plant species.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meaning indicated:
INVASIVE PLANTS
All native and nonnative vines and vegetation that grow out
of place and are competitive, persistent, and pernicious. These plants
may damage trees, vegetation, or structures. This pertains to bamboo
(spreading or running type), kudzu vine and ivy or oak.
All property owners must control the growth of invasive plants
onto their property and insure that the growth of invasive plants
does not spread to adjoining properties. Failure to control the spread
of such vegetation beyond the boundaries of the owner's property
is a violation of this chapter.
All places and premises in the Township of Stafford shall be
subject to inspection by the enforcing officer. Such inspections shall
be performed by such person, persons or agency duly authorized and
appointed by the Township of Stafford. Such inspection shall be made
if that official has reason to believe that any section of this chapter
is being violated.
