Los Angeles Times, 29 Dec 2012 – Re "Pot farms take dirty toll," Dec. 23 Some years back I purchased a copy of biologist George Wuerthner’s guide "California’s Wilderness Areas: Mountains and coastal ranges." As a Southern California native, I was not familiar with geographic locales outside my immediate area, so reading the volume and looking at the beautiful color photos instilled an incredible sense of fascination with California’s far north and its incredibly rich biodiversity and unspoiled splendor. It made me realize that pristine areas of the state, untouched by humans, still exist.
