Prescribed Fire

Brandywine Forest provides prescribed fire planning, coordination, and implementation for natural areas, forests, meadows, grasslands, and restoration sites. Prescribed fire can be an effective land-management tool for reducing accumulated fuels, controlling invasive vegetation, improving wildlife habitat, supporting native plant communities, and restoring fire-adapted ecosystems.

Each project begins with a careful evaluation of site conditions, management objectives, surrounding properties, available resources, and potential risks. We develop practical burn plans and coordinate with landowners, agencies, fire personnel, and qualified partners to support safe and effective implementation.
