A.
The Town of Lumberland prohibits the planting of invasive plants
and will not approve a site plan that includes invasive plants in
the landscape plan. Invasive plants diminish the abundance of native
plants by competing with them. They can block navigation and lead
to flooding, interfere with crop production and can be harmful to
humans and wildlife. They can tolerate a wide variety of conditions,
have a fast growth rate, are easily dispersed by animals and humans,
have profuse and persistent seed and produce chemicals that suppress
the growth of other plants.
