AB1808 regulates the removal and relocation of western Joshua trees during construction projects in California.

AB1808, the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act, establishes guidelines for the removal and relocation of western Joshua trees during construction projects. The bill allows for the taking of these trees under specific conditions, such as when they are within the construction footprint of a project. It mandates that projects avoid and minimize impacts to these trees and requires mitigation for any unavoidable impacts. The bill also sets fees for the removal or trimming of western Joshua trees and allows for the delegation of permit authority to counties and cities.
