How many hours would you estimate that you spent creating your brush pile(s)? This includes cutting the brush and stacking it.

Do you want your chips spread broadly across a general area (broadcasted) or consolidated into piles (Note that if neither option is selected then the crew will choose)?

Broadcasted

Piled

Anything else you'd like the crew to know?

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.
