Conservation officers will be patrolling Crown woods roads to discourage their use during the spring thaw period when dirt roads are easily damaged.
Individuals using the roads to get to their camps or wood properties are not being targeted.
There will be patrols on Crown land and officers may issue ministerial orders for vehicle operators to vacate an area until the roads have dried.
Failure to comply with a ministerial order or signage posted under the authority of the act may result in charges. Depending upon the charge, a conviction could lead to fines of $140 to $500 for a first offence.
