Sage smudging with white sage (Salvia apiana) has become a viral trend. Metric tons of white sage have been poached to supply an international demand. This species is deeply rooted in the cultures and lifeways of the Indigenous communities of Southern California and northern Baja California, the only region where white sage naturally grows. Kevin Alison will discuss poaching of Dudleya species and efforts being taken to protect the plants and prevent their removal from the wild. Dudleya species (liveforevers) have been poached from mainland California and from Santa Catalina Island.
