Be careful when trimming dead branches
Trimming dangerous dead branches is acceptable if you can distinguish which branches are really dead! Make sure other climbers and people on the ground are out of the way as dead branches are thrown from the tree. Don't let large cut pieces bounce against green branches, because the impact can break or damage them. Trimming green branches should be kept to a minimum. Make proper cuts on all pruning and be careful with sharp hand saws, which are always dangerous.
