So far, I haven't seen the suggestion of use as fishing poles. Perhaps that's not practical when clearing large stands, but is an alternative use that might interest young people & their parents in a project.

> ?I have not done this myself but, I have been told that shredded Bamboo makes a good surfacing material for trails/paths thru woodlands as they do not break down as quickly as wood chips. Notice I said shredded not chips of Bamboo as when you try running Bamboo thru a chipper, it cuts it into long shredded pieces rather than chips. I myself have cut and removed Bamboo within our park system and I found this out after the fact about the use of Bamboo on trails. DO NOT use any rooted materials as they will take root; only use the canes and leaves. Good luck with your search.
