A SERIES OF CONTROLLED BURNS IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN IN THE NEXT SEVERAL WEEKS. THE PRESCRIBED BURNS WILL BE DONE TO ELIMINATE EXCESS VEGETATION IN THE SANTA LUCIA RANGER DISTRICT OF THE LOS PADRES NATIONAL FOREST. BRUSH HAS ALREADY BEEN CUT AND PILED, AND THE BURNS ARE SCHEDULED TO START WHEN THE WEATHER CONDITIONS AND AIR QUALITY ARE DEEMED SUITABLE.
