ParksNL lifting restrictions

With weather conditions helping ease the wildfire threat, ParksNL is easing some restrictions.

Off-road vehicle restrictions on forested land are lifted and ParksNL are also reinstating permissions for propane fire pits.

Restrictions regarding generators and propane fire pits continue to apply. This includes the rule that generators and propane fire pits must never be left unattended and equipment should only be used on designated, hardened surfaces within campsites and maintained a safe distance from vegetation, flammable materials and fuels.

Disposal of cigarette butts should continue in water-filled vessels, and considerate behavior such as refraining from smoking in shared areas is appreciated. Smoking on trails is always discouraged for safety reasons.
