Making the Cut

Jeff Lear, of Rutland, Vt., cuts out a segment of a tree in Hanover, N.H., on Monday, Aug. 6, 2018. The branches and segments of trunk will go into a wood chipper, where the wood chips will then be repurposed as mulch, biofuels and in energy plants. At times, Lear and his employer, Trees Incorporated, have had people come up to them on the street asking if they can have some of the wood chips. (Valley News - August Frank) Copyright Valley News.
