The purpose of this article is to protect and promote the public
health through the control of the growth of invasive plants.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
INVASIVE PLANTS

or structures. Examples include but are not limited to bamboo (spreading
or running type), ragweed, multiflora rose, kudzu vine and poison
ivy or oak.
All persons must control the growth of invasive plants. Failure

persons or agency duly authorized and appointed by the Township of
Little Egg Harbor. Such inspection shall be made if that official
has reason to believe that any section of this article is being violated.
