I know there were rules (or at least strong suggestions) in place ~7-8 years ago regarding cutting Roseau to use for blinds in South LA because of the cane scale killing off patches around Venice and elsewhere. I know the concern with the scale seems to have faded and we understand it better. I definitely see cane used to build blinds in Venice. Wondering if the rules have relaxed and whether anyone on this board is aware of any enforcement by LDWF regarding using cane to build blinds. Thanks in advance

Good stuff and I have some of it. For this question I’m referring to drive in blinds on public land so artificial material isn’t an option

both far better than cane and wont cut your hands up. also easier to brush up with. on the wax myrtle cut the long skinny sprouts off of an area thats already been cut. they will last a week at least on your blind

roseau cane is a pretty important marsh resource...it holds the banks together while they firm up (or if eroding, slows it down)
