A court challenge of Nova Scotia’s ban on travel in the woods was scheduled to get underway on Tuesday.

That ban was ordered in early August 2025, as the province dealt with wildfires and extreme dry conditions led to concerns about more wildfires starting.

Announcing the ban, along with a fine of more than $25,000 for violations, Premier Tim Houston described conditions in Nova Scotia as a “tinder box”. Restrictions were brought in for activities like hiking, camping and fishing.

Similar restrictions were implemented during the devastating 2023 wildfire season, and restrictions on wooded hiking trails.
