Narcotics agents destroyed 27,000 marijuana plants that were found growing at a state park in Sonoma County, authorities said today.

The plants were found in a remote area in the northwest corner of Sugarloaf Ridge State Park in Kenwood, the Sheriff's Department said. Agents from the county Narcotic Task Force, along with the Napa Special Investigation Bureau, had to be airlifted to the site for Tuesday's raid because the terrain was so rough.

Two campsites showed signs of hasty departures - when agents arrived, breakfast was half-eaten.

"The individuals also left burning candles on a makeshift altar, and had constructed a makeshift pit for their garbage," said sheriff's Detective Sgt. Chris Bertoli.

The pot growers apparently diverted water from a nearby spring to irrigate the marijuana plants. They sprinkled poison around the area that killed a number of squirrels and field mice, along with a red fox, Bertoli said.

The plants, which were a 18 inches to 2 feet, were destroyed in the field.

Agents raided a second operation later Tuesday on Mount St. Helena, where 7,000 plants were growing, the sheriff's office said.
