The purpose of this chapter is to protect and promote the public
health through the control of the growth of invasive plants.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
INVASIVE PLANTS
All native and non-native species of vines and vegetation
that grow out of place and are competitive, persistent, and pernicious
shall be classified as invasive plants. These plants may damage trees,
vegetation, 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
to control the spread of such vegetation beyond the boundaries of
a resident's property is a violation of this chapter.
All places and premises in the Borough of Tuckerton shall be
subject to inspection by the Code Enforcement Officer or his designee.
Such inspections shall be performed by such person, persons or agency
duly authorized and appointed by the Borough of Tuckerton. Such inspection
shall be made if that official has reason to believe that any section
of this chapter is being violated.
