Can I remove invasive species (phragmites, English ivy, poison ivy, greenbriar) from my buffer?
Yes. The County encourages the removal of invasive species. However, you must have a County-approved buffer management plan and plant the area with native species that suppress the re-growth of the invasive species. Contact the Office of Environmental and Cultural Resources at (410) 222-7441 for a list of native species plants or see the For more information Link below.
