[MAIPC] FW: Removed Bamboo trees - any useful environmentally

[Diana Carter]

Following on Whitney's thought:
The volunteer might want to contact Washington Gardener Magazine for broadcast to their members. Also any of the communities who have garden plots might be interested for their plot members. Reston is an example.

Bamboo canes are great for trellising climbing vegetables as someone else mentioned, and probably would be good for roses and vines, too.  Cut pieces of smaller canes, when bundled together, make excellent pollinator habitat:

Hi, Marc!

Have you heard of any useful environmentally friendly ideas what to do with removed bamboo trees? 

I just received a call from one of our volunteers, and I don't have a clue where to turn...
