Miramichi Shooting Sports ranges are closed until the Crown Land closure is lifted.
I expect the General Meeting set for Tuesday will change location, or be canceled. Stay tuned.
Situational update
Updated: August 9, 2025
As of 12:01 a.m. Sunday, August 10, all Crown land in the province will close due to an extreme wildfire hazard.
As a result of extremely dry and dangerous conditions, the closure of Crown land will see all industrial and recreational activities prohibited on Crown land. We are also encouraging private landowners to take the same precautions. People currently at camps on Crown land are encouraged to leave by midnight. In addition, people are also being asked to avoid using private wood lots and woods roads.
The restrictions on Crown land include:
hiking, camping, fishing and the use of vehicles in the woods are not permitted
trail systems through woods are off limits
camping is allowed only in campgrounds, but the public is being asked to reconsider their camping plans until such time the forest fire risk decreases
Private property owners are also strongly encouraged to follow the same approach.
