Nova Scotia Bans Hiking And Camping To Prevent Wildfires

This week the Province of Nova Scotia has banned hiking and camping in the woods to help prevent wildfires. The restrictions, effective as of 4 p.m., August 5th, include:

  • hiking, camping, fishing and the use of vehicles in the woods are not permitted

  • trail systems through woods are off limits

  • camping is allowed only in campgrounds.

Conditions continue to be extremely dry. Until we get a significant amount of rain, we’re at an elevated risk of wildfires. Most wildfires are caused by human activity, so to reduce the risk, we’re keeping people out of the woods until conditions improve. I’m asking everyone to do the right thing – don’t light that campfire, stay out of the woods and protect our people and communities.

— Premier Tim Houston

While the restrictions are in place, people can still access beaches and parks, but not the trail systems. Private landowners are free to use their own properties but cannot host others to use wooded areas of their properties.

The ban will remain in place until October 15th, 2025 or until conditions improve. The fine for violating the ban is $25,000.
