The national forests in California and across the nation are increasingly being used to grow marijuana. The clandestine grows are shielded by tree canopies and are often close to, if not actually inside, recreational usage areas so that the growers can appear to be normal recreational users. A task force comprised of Sheriff deputies, US Forest Service Agents and Dept. of Justice agents raided a grow in the Tahoe National Forest that yielded 5000 plants in the 2"-12" range and arrested one Mexican national who was tending the grow. Here, visitors to the forest enjoy the surroundings unaware that a pot plant was seized less than a 1/4 mile away.
