Dead Branches: Safety Check for Your Property | Anchorage News

With leaves back on the trees, it’s time to hunt down those dangerous dead limbs before they snap and cause harm—like the tragic incident where a walker got caught under a falling branch. Dead branches stand out in greenery, so check trees and bushes alike. Use the right tools, cut from the bottom up to avoid bark damage, and safely dispose of branches—chipping for mulch or composting, but keep piles away from your home. And if an entire tree is dead, especially from pests like bark beetles, remove it fast—it’s a major fire risk. Stay safe, stay vigilant.
