Western Joshua Tree Hazard Management Project (Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act Permit No. 1927-HMP-2026-279)

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has issued hazard management permit 1927-HMP-2026-279 to Guadalupe Flores Garcia under Fish and Game Code section 1927.4. This permit authorizes the removal of two dead and detached western Joshua trees and four dead and detached crowns, as well as the trimming and removal of four dead and attached trunks. The project is managed by the Habitat Conservation Planning Branch in Sacramento and is located in California, zip code 92371. These permits are granted to property owners to address dead or living western Joshua trees that pose a risk. To qualify for removal or trimming, the trees must have fallen within 30 feet of a structure, be leaning against a structure, or create an imminent threat to public health and safety. Mika Samoy serves as the primary environmental scientist and point of contact for this forecast project.
