Crete keeps its oak groves — Plum Creek winding through them, the woods at Goodenow Grove going amber by the second week of October. C and L Tree Services Inc works among those bur oaks and hickories, pruning with a light hand because an old crown does not forgive a rushed cut. Trimming clears the porch, the drive and the fence line; removal is saved for what is genuinely finished. When a storm rakes down out of the northwest and drops a limb across a lane, they cut it up, chip it, and bring the yard back to green. A place this wooded stays this wooded only if somebody is paying attention to it.
