LOWER SALFORD â A new township ordinance applies to a variety of invasive plants and noxious vegetation, but the primary focus is bamboo, Lower Salford Township Board of Supervisors Chairman Doug Gifford said prior to the July 7 vote at which the ordinance was approved.
The township previously didn t have an ordinance prohibiting growing bamboo, he said. In fact, the township has some bamboo on its own land, which will be outlawed by this ordinance, he said.

The ordinance uses the state definition for invasive plants and noxious vegetation, he said. It also regulates the removal. We can have it removed. We can remove it and charge the homeowner if they refuse, the whole idea being to prevent the further growth of the species, Gifford said.
LOWER SALFORD â Along with helping provide health and safety for community members, a clinic to vaccinate people against COVID-19 highlighted another thing, organizers said. Today s just all about a great community partnership, said Ken Keith, vice president of the Harleysville Community Fire Company, at the March 7 clinic at the firehouse.
Running from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the clinic in partnership with the neighboring Rann Pharmacy gave the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine to 1,000 people.
