SILVERWOOD LAKE — Deputies plucked about 3,000 budding marijuana plants from three abandoned gardens in the San Bernardino National Forest on Wednesday, sheriff’s officials said.
Deputies found the three pot gardens containing a total of 3,089 plants about 100 yards from the Pacific Crest Trail, a popular hiking path that runs from Mexico to Canada.
Deputies pulled the plants, which were about 4 to 6 feet tall, and then hauled them out of the secluded spot by helicopter. Officials will destroy the marijuana at a later date, sheriff’s spokesman Chip Patterson said.
