Pocopson Township — Pre-Development Tree Inventory

Brandywine Forest completed a pre-development tree inventory for a proposed land development project in Pocopson Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

The inventory was designed to document existing tree resources before site design and construction, providing the project team with accurate field data for planning, ordinance review, and tree preservation decisions.

Scope of Work

The project included:

• Field inventory of trees within the project area

• Species identification and diameter measurement

• Assessment of tree condition and status

• GPS/GIS-based tree location mapping

• Identification of significant trees and woodland resources

• Review of potential development impacts

• Data preparation for use by engineers, planners, and landscape architects

Project Value

Completing the inventory early in the land-development process allows the design team to understand existing tree resources before grading, utilities, access, and building footprints are finalized.

The resulting tree dataset provides a practical foundation for:

• Tree preservation planning

• Municipal land-development submissions

• Woodland and canopy calculations

• Construction-impact review

• Replacement tree requirements

• Coordination between arborists, engineers, and site designers

Services Provided: Pre-development tree inventory, GIS mapping, arboricultural assessment, and land-development tree preservation consulting.
