From the Summary ... 'Control burning activities within Everglades National Park have expanded notably within the last year and a half. Prior to that time such activities were confined strictly to the pinelands habitat of the Park. The control burn program is now being broadened to include all fire dependent habitats within the Park, covering approximately 438,000 acres. With several well trained and experienced men it should be possible to place this entire area on a 3 to 6 year burning rotation. Such burning can be carried on throughout most of the year except perhaps during extremely dry periods. Air pollution problems due to the presence of nearby urban centers is not anticipated due to the favorable wind patterns that exist in South Florida. Nevertheless it is anticipated that the securing of public understanding and support will be an important element in the success and continuance of the program.'
