Rumour says some local cacti-lovers have brought first pads there at least 20 - 30 years ago.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.

As a whole this cactus covers a small portion of south slope of that hill but, yes, maybe it displaces some of the native plants. Hills there are turned to public parks, also having some protective status at recent times. Some views from there.
