Safety Rules and Regulations
Safety of the volunteers is the number one priority of the Native Plant Salvage Program. The following guidelines are designed to help ensure the safety of each volunteer and must be adhered to at all times.
- All participants must be at least 18 years of age.
- Salvage activities must be scheduled through the Project Manager and must be performed only in daylight hours and during good weather conditions.
- Participants should assemble away from the designated work site and carpool to reduce the number of cars at the project site. Vehicles must be parked at least four feet away from the roadway.
- Safety vests must be worn by all participants at all times during the native plant salvage project.
- Participants must not distract motorists with horseplay or abrupt, erratic movements. Horseplay of any kind is strictly forbidden.
Tucson Cactus and Succulent Society
For those individuals not currently involved in a non-profit native plant organization but wanting the opportunity to salvage plants, the Tucson Cactus and Succulent Society (TCSS) welcomes and invites new members to join and participate through their organization. The TCSS will only permit TCSS Members to work with them due to insurance coverage and to be able to guarantee that participants follow all its rules and procedures as well as all State requirements. TCSS memberships are $15 for individuals and $20 for families.
