On November 13 and 14, 2021, Las Vegas Field Office will offer more than 1,400 cacti and yucca for sale that were salvaged from within the Las Vegas Valley where they would otherwise have been destroyed by construction. Plants will be available on a first-come, first-served basis to individuals from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. those two days. Harvesting any plants, including cacti, yucca and Joshua trees, from public lands is illegal without a permit. Permits for these plants are being issued by BLM because the plants would otherwise be destroyed by construction activity within the Las Vegas Valley. Available plants include golden/silver cholla, pencil cholla, cottontop cactus, barrel cactus, Engelman’s hedgehog cactus, beavertail cactus and Mojave yucca.

INVASIVE JUMPING WORMS LEAP INTO OREGON

"Jumping worms, a not-so-nice pest that arrived in the United States in the 1920s as fishing bait and as hitchhikers on imported plants and soils, have vaulted into gardens and nurseries up and down the Willamette Valley corridor."
