Prescribed Fire Service across Pennsylvania
Headquartered in West Chester, Chester County, Brandywine Forest provides prescribed fire consulting and implementation services throughout Pennsylvania. We work with private landowners, municipalities, institutions, conservation organizations, and land managers to use prescribed fire safely and effectively as part of broader forest, meadow, habitat, and natural-land management strategies.
Prescribed fire can help reduce hazardous fuels, improve wildlife habitat, control invasive vegetation, support native plant communities, prepare sites for regeneration, and restore ecological processes in fire-adapted landscapes.

Practical, Site-Specific Planning
Every prescribed burn requires careful evaluation of vegetation, fuels, topography, access, weather, smoke impacts, surrounding properties, and project objectives. Brandywine Forest develops practical plans that reflect the conditions of each site and the needs of the landowner or managing organization.
Prescribed fire may be used as a stand-alone management treatment or combined with invasive-species control, forestry mowing, timber-stand improvement, meadow management, ecological restoration, and long-term forest stewardship.
Statewide Service Area
Based in West Chester, Brandywine Forest provides prescribed fire consulting and implementation services throughout Pennsylvania. Projects are evaluated individually based on acreage, location, site conditions, permitting requirements, staffing, scheduling, and management objectives.
