Gulf Islands National Seashore plans to conduct prescribed burns within the Naval Live Oaks Area near Gulf Breeze April 20 through 22.

The planned burns are scheduled to take place around 10 a.m. through 4 p.m. but will only occur if specific conditions are met. The park will review the conditions on the morning of each potential burn day to determine if the burn will take place.
