Prohibits planting of non-native species in landscaping at State parks and forests; establishes grant program to support use of native plants at local parks and forests; appropriates $250,000.

This bill prohibits the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection from planting non-native species in state park and forest landscaping starting three months after enactment. It creates a $250,000 grant program to help local governments (counties and municipalities) use native plants in their parks, forests, and habitat restoration projects, with grants capped at $5,000 per project. The department must establish application guidelines, monitor grant use, and report annually on the program's effectiveness. The bill directly affects state park management and local government landscaping projects, aiming to increase native plant use for environmental benefits like reduced maintenance and habitat support.
