Yes, the saguaro are protected. Lots of regulations to follow. To get our building permits we had to have a native plant inventory and a revegetation plan. In addition to the saguaro, we had to move ocotillo, palo verde, mesquite and ironwood. I think we had to deal with about 60 total (we could not move some and some were deemed not salvageable). We'll have to buy some more for landscaping towards the end.
