Woods restrictions ending; inspection of trails and parklands still to take place

The Province of Nova Scotia has announced as of late this afternoon that the Woods Restrictions have been lifted in Lunenburg County as of 4 p.m. on September 18.

As this information was not provided in advance to municipalities, the Town of Bridgewater is asking our residents for patience over the next couple of days as our Parks staff conduct required inspections of trails and parklands that have been closed since the restrictions were introduced. Inspections will begin early on Friday morning.

Residents can expect that barricades will remain in place at parks and trails until inspections have been completed.

Once areas have been inspected and deemed safe for use, barricades and signage will be removed location by location, indicating that the area is once again open to public use.

Again, we ask you to be patient for another day or two as inspections take place and to continue to respect any barricaded and signed trails and parkland out of an abundance of caution and concern for your safety.
