The State of California’s Department of Fish and Wildlife released the final draft of their Western Joshua Tree Conservation Plan on Tuesday. The State has been working on the conservation plan for the last several years in advance of a June 2025 deadline.
This final draft plan incorporates notes and feedback from several workshops held this year, an extensive public comment period, and input from local governing agencies, including counties, cities, and land management organizations.
The State Fish and Game Commission will hear public comment on this final draft plan at their meeting on June 11 and 12.
