Provides supplemental appropriation of $250,000 for Deer-Resistant Native Species Propagation at Agricultural Experiment Station.

This bill provides an additional $250,000 in state funding for the Agricultural Experiment Station to develop deer-resistant native plant species. It directly affects the Agricultural Experiment Station (part of Rutgers University) and aims to mitigate deer-related damage to New Jersey's agricultural crops, gardens, and natural ecosystems. The key mechanism involves collecting plant cuttings and seeds from regional species, developing propagation protocols, and testing plants with natural deer-resistance traits. This project explores nonlethal methods to reduce deer damage, addressing concerns like crop loss and ecosystem disruption linked to New Jersey's estimated 125,000 deer.
