The disclosure pertains to a method and structure of securing a fallen tree or broken utility pole that has remained partially upright and in an insecure position, thereby creating a hazard to persons or property. The disclosure teaches a stand or similar structure that secures the partially fallen tree or pole during removal operations. The stand is load bearing and may be supported by at least one angled stabilizing leg structure. The structure may rest on ground support plates. The support plates may be attached to the ground by spike or anchor mechanisms. The stand can be extendable utilizing hydraulic or manual levered jacks or an extendable piston-cylinder combination. The structure can be placed under the fallen tree or pole and extended vertically upward into contact with the tree trunk or pole. The structure may use lifting components comprising cylinder/piston combinations, telescoping pistons, scissor lift components or similar.
