Laws Governing the Native Plants of Arizona

 

AZ State SealThe Arizona Department of Agriculture web site has a great deal of information relating to plants in the State of Arizona.

All of Arizona's Agricultural Administrative Rules are available on the web.
Information on plant salvage and recovery, which is governed by state law under Arizona Revised Statutes Title 3, Chapter 7, "Arizona Native Plants" can be found there. The Department of Agriculture maintains lists of Protected Plants. Their website also provides application forms to remove protected plants in .pdf format which you can download to your computer for viewing with Acrobat Reader.

 

The Plant Sciences Center in Sierra Vista has some guidelines for salvaging plants.

 


Plant Salvage Information

This area reproduces Notices of Intent to Clear Land received from the Arizona Department of Agriculture. Such notices are intended to permit plant salvagers to salvage plants in areas scheduled for development and construction by both private property owners and state and federal agencies.

Please refer to the Arizona Department of Agriculture web site links shown above to access the relevant laws, Protected Native Plants List and the forms relating to salvage. It is the salvager's responsibility to operate in accordance with these laws and to contact governmental agencies and/or property owners as necessary before salvaging.

By posting the following information, the Arizona Native Plant Society takes no responsibility for the legality of any particular salvage operation. If you have any questions about plant salvage procedures, tagging requirements, etc., please contact Jim McGinnis at the Arizona Department of Agriculture, (602) 364-0907.
