Authorities have uncovered a marijuana garden in Point Reyes National Seashore that was growing what would have been worth millions of dollars worth of marijuana if it had made it to the streets.

National Park Service rangers and Marin County sheriff's deputies seized about 3,500 plants Monday on Bolinas Ridge in the seashore.

The street value of the seized marijuana plants is estimated at $9 million.

Authorities say last year more than 22,000 marijuana plants with a street value of more than $48 million were removed from park lands in west Marin County.

Because of damage caused by the marijuana growing operations officials at Point Reyes National Seashore spent more than $100,000 last year to clean up and restore the land to its natural state.
