To help avoid any new wildfires, the Province is increasing the fine for breaking the provincewide burn ban to $25,000.

Illegal burning has to stop, and all Nova Scotians need to do their part – follow the burn ban, stay out of the woods and help keep your communities safe.
The fine for entering the woods is $237.50. Police, conservation or other law enforcement officers will be handing out tickets. The burn ban is in place until June 25 or until conditions allow it to be lifted.

While most provincial and municipal parks remain open, wooded areas are off limits, so provincial parks that are primarily trails are closed. You can see a list of those parks here: https://parks.novascotia.ca .
