How to enjoy the beauty of Nova Scotia without going into the woods
A trail in Purcell's Cove, N.S., is pictured with a barrier across it on Aug. 9, 2025 in compliance with Nova Scotia's woods ban. (CTV Atlantic / Melanie Price) With a burn ban in effect across the province of Nova Scotia and a ban from entering wooded areas, Hike Nova Scotia has suggestions for alternatives to get out and enjoy nature. Nova Scotia Walks program manager Catherine Drozbeck said their groups have adapted to the bans. 'Many of our groups have just pivoted and changed the route a bit. If the group is near a beach they are heading in that direction and certainly in any given municipality some of the more open area parks, they have switched to that,' said Drozbeck in an interview with CTV News Atlantic's Crystal Garret on Friday. Just walking around your own neighbourhood is also a great alternative, said Janet Barlow, executive director of Hike Nova Scotia. 'Even in our own neighbourhood and you're itching to get out and you can't go in the woods, walking in your own neighbourhood is fine. Just explore your own neighbourhood and make plans and get inspiration for when we are allowed back out on the tails.' Drozbeck says people can also take advantage of the province's coastline. 'I love being near the water in the summer. There is 13,000 km of coastline in our beautiful province. We are not far from the water here, if you can be along the shoreline here that's the number one thing. I'm trying to do that,' says Drozbeck. 'We had some families visiting so we took them around to some of the tourist sites. We definitely went to Peggys Cove and went along the rocks. There are also plenty of open parks with wide open green spaces,' added Barlow. Drozbeck said even with the bans, it's still important for people to get outside. 'We definitely still want people to be together, be outside, get that physical activity, get fresh air. There are so many benefits to walking and hiking. So, if we can do it safe right now, it's good for our mental health and our body,' said Drozbeck. 'With wildfire burning right now, if people feel that air quality might affect their health, there are also some good indoor walking options around the province like arenas and even if you have a nearby mall. It's good to get out, get moving and be with other people.' For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page
