Thousands of marijuana plants removed from California’s Sequoia National Park
CBS Sacramento Law enforcement removed an illegal marijuana cultivation site where more than 2,000 plants were located in California’s Sequoia National Park last week, officials said on Thursday. … The same cultivation site was raided last year, but it was not rehabilitated until this year due to the presence of hazardous chemicals. National park officials reported damage to the site, such as diverting water from a nearby creek and installing irrigation lines. Officials said a significant amount of vegetation was cleared from the site and several large pits were built to store the diverted water.
