Department of Natural Resources Travel In Woods During Woods Closure
Permit |
 |
| Who
Needs This Permit? |
| |
Anyone who wants to travel on forest land while a travel ban
(woods closure) is in force. Woods closure / travel bans usually occurs
when the forest gets extremely dry, and the hazard of fire is extreme.
The goal is to try to reduce the risk of fire by keeping people out of
the woods.
A permit is not required by the owner of forest land or their servant,
agent or assigns.
During such bans, permission to travel in connection with industrial
operations may be granted.
Other exemptions may apply, depending on the location; contact your
local Area Office of the N.S. Department of Natural Resources for advice.
