Removing 1.5 Acres of Bamboo in Towson, MD

The lot is six acres rectangular, where about *one and a half* acres of the total acreage is covered by a very dense stand of running bamboo. It is 350 feet long deep at its longest dimension The plants have been there for decades, as the property was allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. It is our intention to restore the property, inside and out. Options for removal I've seen generally target small areas. However this is a much bigger problem! My first thought is to hire someone with a bulldozer to come push it all down, and then put it all in a commercial wood chipper. This could get expensive though. What else can we do? What problems does my scenario present? Hiring a panda bear would probably not go over well with the neighborhood. The property is in Towson, Maryland. Thank you in advance. Are you allowed to clear cut the wooded/brush/bamboo area ? Is it considered a "wet land" ? You should check with your nearest conservation/environmental authorities to make sure you are allowed to cut all of that natural vegetation down without some kind of site plan/impact study done and having a permit hearing... Not saying that the OP doesn't need to do that (I've heard of dumber things) but bamboo has never been native to Maryland to my knowledge... you'd think the enviro types would be happy to see it go. nate |
