I know that the Saguaro Cactus is a protected species (dead or alive) in the Saguaro National Park. If you get caught, it will be the most expensive piece of wood you ever had. And you don't get to keep it. Saguaro grows about a foot every 150 years.
If you're in the area, stop at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum. Lots to learn, including a collection of animals that live in the desert. Snakes are obvious, but I never knew that wolves and pumas live there as well.
And while you're in the area, stop at Old Tucson studios. The majority of Westerns you've ever seen were probably filmed there. El Dorado and Rio Bravo (both John Wayne flicks) were shot there as well as over 300 other oaters. You'll probably recognize the store fronts on main street.
