Jack Marks (foreground), of Charleston-based Elk Well Services, takes a chainsaw to one of hundreds of trees blown down in Coonskin Park by the June 29 derecho. Kanawha County parks officials hired Elk Well Services to clean up the park in the aftermath of the wind storm.

Kanawha County Parks Director Jeff Hutchinson inspects some of the trees already cut down. The trees will be chipped into sawdust or cut up for firewood.
