Great to hear! In Washington County, there hasnt been an announcement of a grow find in quite some time. Guessing they’ve moved to Corps land around the lake as privately owned land is being checked more. Whatever it takes to totally get rid of this problem. The damage they do to the ecosystem with the littering, the chemicals, and the killing of animals is horrible. Ill take an educated guess based on past cases and by the lack of care of damage to Texas and US lands that the growers are not citizens…..another reason to close our borders!
