Authorizes foraging fruits, fungi, nuts, plants, and parts thereof in State parks and forests for personal use of the forager.

New Jersey's A5372 permits individuals to collect wild fruits, fungi, nuts, and plants from state parks and forests for personal consumption by themselves, family, or friends - banning any sale or barter. The bill prohibits foraging protected species (listed by the Department of Environmental Protection as threatened, endangered, rare, or vulnerable) and requires foragers to act responsibly without endangering wildlife or ecosystems. Foragers assume all risks, with the state explicitly disclaiming liability for safety, consumption, or sharing of foraged items. The Department of Environmental Protection may restrict foraging in specific areas for environmental safety (e.g., protecting nesting birds or preventing erosion) and can impose fines up to $500 for negligent foraging of protected species.
