New Brunswick has limited access to all public wooded areas, saying the measure is needed to decrease the risk of wildfires igniting.
All Crown land was closed to the public as of 12:01 a.m. on Aug. 10. That means activities such as fishing, camping, or hiking are prohibited, and vehicles are not permitted in the woods. Trail systems are also closed, and camping is restricted to designated campgrounds.
