Unincorporated Mohave County has no heritage, landmark, or specimen tree program. The closest equivalent in the desert is Arizona's Native Plant Law, whose Highly Safeguarded category protects rare wild species from being taken at all.
There is no county ordinance designating heritage or landmark trees by size or age, and no commission that reviews removals; that model belongs to greener, canopy-focused cities. In its place, Arizona's Native Plant Law sorts protected wild plants into categories, and the most restrictive, Highly Safeguarded, covers species threatened with extinction that generally cannot be collected or destroyed. Iconic desert plants like the saguaro fall under protected categories administered by the Arizona Department of Agriculture. For an individual homeowner, the practical protection attaches to wild native plants on the land, not to a locally designated heritage tree.
No county heritage-tree penalties exist. Destroying a Highly Safeguarded or other protected native plant without authorization is a state violation under the Native Plant Law, enforced by the Arizona Department of Agriculture.
