The Effects of Trespass Grows on Public Land with Rich McIntyre and Jackee Riccio of CROP Project


Listen Later

Rick McIntyre and Jackee Riccio of CROP Project join us to highlight the impacts that illegal cannabis trespass grows have on our public lands, fish, and wildlife, especially in California. Trespass grows use toxicants that contaminate water and poison fish and wildlife - including species which hunters and anglers pursue. Not only that, but he heavily armed sites also pose a danger to hunters and anglers who accidentally encounter them while hunting or fishing our public lands. This results in large acreages effectively being off-limits. We greatly appreciate Rich and Jackee joining us to educate us - and you - about this serious issue.
