TOWN OF YUCCA VALLEY DEFERS JOSHUA TREE PROTECTION TO THE STATE

In the wake of the state’s decision Tuesday to make the western Joshua tree a candidate for statewide “threatened” status, the Town of Yucca Valley is now deferring all Joshua tree decisions to California Fish and Game. According to a Town Press, “Local regulations concerning Joshua Trees are superseded by the California Endangered Species Act.  Accordingly, all local interpretation, guidance, permitting, enforcement, and any related actions regarding the Joshua Tree will be administered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.”

Property owners with related Joshua Tree questions are being directed to the regional Department of Fish and Wildlife Office in Ontario.

California Department of Fish and Wildlife Region 6,
3602 Inland Empire Blvd, Suite C-220,
Ontario, CA 91764
