The annual celebration of Earth Day provides an opportunity to reflect on the beauty of the natural world, as well as to consider what efforts we can make to better care for the places we call home. In Siskiyou County especially, we are blessed with breathtaking and diverse landscapes that attract thousands of visitors each year, supports a robust recreational and agricultural economy, and holds cultural and historical significance for many people. And while many residents of Siskiyou County have engaged in vigorous conservation and preservation efforts to keep our landscapes beautiful in perpetuity, the proliferation of illegal marijuana cultivation has significantly undermined these efforts and pose a serious threat to the health of our environment and our communities.
