Huntington Town Board rejects bamboo regulations

This should be funny to watch.

The FIL says that bamboo is a nuisance plant. I believe Town of Hempstead is trying to regulate the use of bamboo.

Yeah I recall reading Town of Hempstead banned bamboo, here's a press release on it:
Hempstead Town Adopts Legislation to Ban Invasive Bamboo on Local Properties - ToH

Town of Smithtown already restricts its use within 10 of any property line.

Nope, just when your neighbor complains.

Then I guess there will be no shortage of reporting...

The members of the Town board seem to be short sighted or possibly have Bamboo on their property that they don't want to deal with.

Bamboo is very invasive, fast growing and rugged, you can see many places on Long Island where it has escaped it's original planted area.
We keep destroying Long Island's natural areas...........not a good thing.
