" Pollution from illegal marijuana farms deep in California's national forests is far worse than previously thought"

California's national forests are under the jurisdiction of the federal government. They aren't subject to California law, and growers can prolly be arrested the minute they cross into California. No tears will be shed by the locals if the feds do their job, and state and county teams usually assist federal task forces.

THE PRESS DEMOCRAT | July 26, 2017

The County of Mendocino Marijuana Eradication Team and Bureau of Indian Affairs on Tuesday seized 2,421 marijuana plants from some 30 gardens being cultivated on the Sherwood Valley Rancheria of Pomo Indians near Willits.

Officers also seized 611 pounds of drying bud marijuana, 95 pounds of processed marijuana, less than a half gram of cocaine and eight firearms, said Mendocino County Sheriff’s Sgt. Bruce Smith. The plants ranged in height from 1 to 6 feet, he said.

The gardens had been the subject of complaints by tribal leaders and other rancheria residents, Smith said. He said it appears some tribal members had been growing marijuana and leasing plots to nonmembers on a 160-acre section of the rancheria for the purpose of cultivation.
