LWFR Brush Chipping Pile Guidelines:

​

                                                      Important

• Chipping piles should be hand stacked only, no machine stacking (i.e. using a tractor to create large stacks of brush or branches)

• All piles must be stacked along a road or driveway that is safely accessible by our truck and chipper (dry, open fields and primitive roads can be used if the chipping crew deams it safe for the equipment to access. If you have doubts then please call and we can take a look).

• Place all stems of trees and brush facing the same direction, with the cut or butt ends facing the driveway/road

• All trees and limbs must be under 8” in diameter

• Brush pile shall be no taller than 5 feet

• All piles shall be free of dirt, rocks, loose pine needles, noxious weeds, animal waste, garbage, plastic, and metal. 

 

If you have a special, unique, or large project that might push the parameters of these guidelines please contact Kris King, Wildfire Risk Reduction Coordinator, at kking@lwfr.org for further assistance.

By checking this box, you agree that these guidelines have been met. If the chipping crew feels your piles are unacceptable they will ask the brush to be re-stacked or re-sorted in order to best fit these guidelines.
