Feeding wildlife in Middlesex County is addressed through municipal ordinances and New Jersey state rules. Feeding black bears is prohibited statewide, and many towns separately ban feeding deer, geese and other wildlife that create nuisances.
New Jersey prohibits the intentional feeding of black bears statewide under N.J.A.C. 7:25-5, with substantial penalties, and this applies throughout Middlesex County. Beyond bears, wildlife-feeding restrictions are municipal: individual towns adopt ordinances banning or limiting the feeding of deer, Canada geese, feral cats or other wildlife where it causes property damage, health hazards or nuisance flocks. Because most feeding rules are local, penalties and covered species vary by municipality, and residents should review their town code before feeding any wildlife on or near their property.
State penalties for feeding black bears; municipal fines for feeding deer, geese or other wildlife where a local ordinance prohibits it.
