Tree-sitters protest PG&E power line plans in Nevada City

Graeme Pitts is in a tree. 

He doesn’t know how long he’ll stay there or how much it will help, but for him the decision was a no-brainer. 

“It was pretty easy for me to just be present to do what I can do. It’s an easy way for me to enjoy this tree while defending it,” Pitts said. 

He’s been following PG&E’s plans to cut more than 250 trees in Nevada City that could interfere with power lines, and on Tuesday Pitts was ready to put his body on the line.
