Camden County does not require or restrict native-plant landscaping for private yards. New Jersey and NJDEP promote native plants for stormwater and pollinator benefits, and the state's model tree ordinance emphasizes native replacement species, but private planting choices are yours.
No Camden County ordinance mandates native landscaping on private property. New Jersey policy encourages native plants: the NJDEP model tree removal/replacement ordinance that municipalities adopted directs towns to provide a list of approved replacement trees and to exclude unsuitable species, favoring natives. NJDEP's green-infrastructure and Jersey-Friendly Yards programs promote native, drought-tolerant plantings to cut runoff and support pollinators. On the flip side, municipal weed ordinances still apply, so a naturalized native meadow must not violate a local overgrown-vegetation rule. Some towns exempt intentional native/pollinator gardens, so confirm with your municipality before converting a lawn.
No penalty for planting natives. A neglected or overgrown yard can still be cited under a municipal weed/overgrowth ordinance regardless of species.
