The 2,300-acre project has angered residents of Boron and Desert Lake , two small Kern County towns where the poverty rate is twice the California average.
Residents say their concerns about the project have been ignored by the county and state officials who approved it.
The company says the massive solar and battery storage project will have environmental benefits that outweigh the destruction of the Joshua trees.
California has enacted the Western Joshua Tree Conservation Act, which is aimed at helping to ensure the survival of millions of the climate-threatened trees.
The county said that Avantus had put $1.4 million into a fund that will be used to protect Joshua trees in other areas of the state.
State wildlife officials told The Times that the company must still relocate any desert tortoises or Mohave ground squirrels.
