Supplemental appropriation of $250,000 for Deer-Resistant Native Species Propagation at New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station.

New Jersey A2868 provides a supplemental appropriation of $250,000 for Deer-Resistant Native Species Propagation at the Agricultural Experiment Station. This funding aims to explore nonlethal, environmentally-friendly methods to mitigate damage caused by unchecked deer populations. The project involves collecting cuttings and seeds of specific plants and shrubs, and developing propagation protocols. These plants, sourced from various regions of the state, have traits that can help reduce deer-related damage to nurseries and landscapes.
