cbs5.com - Bay City News Wire: "SANTA CLARA CO.: BOY SCOUTS HELP IN MT. HAMILTON POT GROW SITE CLEANUP
03/18/07 11:05 PDT
Volunteer Boy Scouts and Sheriff's Office Youth Cadets are joining law enforcement this morning in an effort to clean up marijuana grow sites that have damaged formerly pristine natural areas near Mt. Hamilton, a Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office spokesman said.
According to Sgt. Ed Wise, several areas on and near the University of California, Santa Cruz property at the Lick Observatory were used for marijuana cultivation last year, causing erosion and leaving garbage and possibly chemical contaminants around nearby creeks.
The youth volunteers, along with deputies from the Sheriff's Office Marijuana Eradication Team and the state Department of Fish and Game, will be cleaning up plastic pipe and tarps used in the operations and trash at the grower campsites.
With a new grow season approaching in the spring, officials hope to deter marijuana cultivators from returning to the area and further damaging the land and waterways, Wise said."
