Really ignorant here. But I bikepaced the length of NS last summer during the drought. And apparently the week before I got there you weren't even allowed in the woods due to possibility of a 4x4 sparking a wildfire. Is it a fire thing too?
Last summer it was so dry they banned you from going into the forest, on both crown land AND private land that you didn’t own. $25,000 fine PLUS taxes on the fine. I worked forestry and my boss lied to us about our permits and we ended up working ‘illegally’ for a week before we found out.
Ish... that's sketchy. Yeah it was really good timing as I stealth camped most the time so had I been there a week ealier it would of cost me a lot of hotels. Also having the provincial parks open was nice. Not important... but I went to one Caribou/Munroes Island Provincial Park, it was low season, show up late, only two staff there. They were legit the nicest people and I have thought about them once a month at least since. I get nostalgic just thinking about them. Wish I could remember their names to send their managers an email. All to say east coasters are great.

In Nova Scotia it’s illegal to shoot on crown land and you can’t hunt on Sundays
