Taking Back Our Forest Lands

By KSEE News

Believe it or not, our national forests contain some of the most polluted areas in America. What's left of ouir wilderness is being destroyed by drug cartels who use the land for growing marijuana. Earlier this year, we showed you the works of the High Sierra Volunteer Trail Crew that cleans up after these cartels. KSEE 24 News took another hike with the Trail Crew, whose efforts are now inspiring similar clean-ups across the state. Justin Willis reports.

A group of volunteers is spending a lot of time and putting in a lot of hard work to clean up the Sierra National Forest. They aren't picking up after sloppy tourists, but cleaning up sites where illegal marijuana has been cultivated. KSEE 24's Justin Willis went along to show us what is being done to clean up one of our natural treasures.
