Post-holiday tree trimming
Marcos Dabica, right, loads tree trimmings into a wood chipper while his co-worker, Austin Gillis, upper left, manuevers a boom arm to position himself to prune more trees along Highway 18 in Menno Friday morning, Dec. 27. The pair work for Jacobsen Tree Experts, a business out of Sioux Falls that specializes in clearing excess tree growth away from utility lines.
