Weaverville sits in a bowl of Douglas fir and ponderosa with the Trinity Alps rising white behind it and Highway 299 threading through Main Street the way it always has. Watkins Tree Services works that mountain ground — tree trimming and pruning to open space around cabins and outbuildings, deadwood and low limbs taken off the big conifers crowding in on a property. Tree removal is the call for the fir that has died standing near a roof, and it comes down in measured pieces with the wood stacked or hauled off. When a wet system pushes over the Trinity divide and drops a tree across a driveway out toward Lewiston, storm damage cleanup opens the way again. This country does as it likes; the work is keeping a home comfortable inside it.
