New Jersey prohibits the intentional feeding of black bears statewide, and municipalities may ban feeding deer, geese, and other wildlife. Camden County does not set a general feeding ban, but state and local rules apply.
New Jersey bans feeding black bears statewide under N.J.A.C. 7:25-5.34, with penalties up to $1,000. For deer, waterfowl, and other wildlife, feeding restrictions are adopted at the municipal level, and several Camden County towns prohibit feeding that attracts nuisance geese or deer. The county Mosquito Extermination Commission addresses standing-water and vector concerns rather than feeding bans. Feeding that creates a public-health nuisance or draws rats can also trigger the local health authority's nuisance code. Check your municipality's ordinances before feeding wildlife, particularly near parks, ponds, and residential yards.
Feeding black bears carries state penalties up to $1,000; local wildlife-feeding bans are enforced by the municipality with fines set by ordinance.
