The final draft of the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Plan is expected to be discussed at the California Fish and Game Commission meeting taking place on June 11th and 12th, beginning at 9:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. respectively. The final draft for the plan was submitted by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife last week, and the over 300 page document is intended to give the best guidance and science possible for conserving the threatened species. The California Fish and Game Commission will hear public comment and may take final action on the Conservation Plan at the scheduled meeting.
The commission is expected to receive updates to the relocation guidelines and protocols for the Western Joshua Tree, as well as updates to the self-auditing method that the California Department of Fish and Wildlife is requiring when planning construction or development on land that may include Western Joshua Trees.
