A national advocacy group is threatening Nova Scotia with legal action over its move to restrict travel in the woods – a policy Premier Tim Houston claims is necessary to blunt a brutal wildfire season.

The Canadian Constitutional Foundation, which supports legal challenges across the country relating to Charter rights, claims the policy oversteps.

The group says it supports a provincial burn ban but that the prohibition on hiking, camping, fishing and picnicking in the woods goes too far.
