What Do We Expect in the Future?
1. Changes in the climate Sea level rise Increasing temperatures Reduction in water availability
2. Fiscal constraints Prescribed burning is not a 9-5 job Training is important Burns must be conducted regularly to
see benefits Weather can prevent burns Lost burn days (due to fiscal
constraints) are hard to make up
