Weekend outlook: Forecasts suggest smoke may ease by Friday, improving conditions for outdoor plans, though showers and thunderstorms return later in the weekend. Local conservation win: Francestown’s Land Trust received a $159,895 state grant to permanently protect a 16.6-acre fen/bog peatland and related aquatic habitat in the Merrimack River watershed. Data center policy debate: New York’s first-in-the-nation temporary moratorium on new data center construction is drawing national attention, with Southern New Hampshire University’s sustainability director weighing in on potential environmental impacts.
