Neptune Township hopes to curtail invasive plants with a law that will require property owners to stop invasive plants from spreading off their property, and that will prohibit in-ground planting of invasive plant species.
The ordinance will be introduced and read Monday, May 8, at a meeting of the Neptune Township Committee. The meeting starts at 7 pm. in the municipal building, 25 Neptune Blvd.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) defines an invasive plant as one having "the ability to thrive and spread outside its native range," according to the web site of the USDA's National Agricultural Library.
The township ordinance lists bamboo, ragweed, multiflora rose, kudzu vine, and poison ivy and oak as examples of invasive plants.
Other examples of invasive plants are St. Johnswort, Scotch broom, Scotch thistle, and Japanese honeysuckle, according to the National Agricultural Library.
A public hearing on the ordinance is scheduled for Monday, May 22, at 7 p.m. in the municipal building, 25 Neptune Blvd.
