• Western Mass. residents urge Healey to intervene in Eversource plan (recorder.com) — Pelham residents and officials are pushing Governor Healey to halt or significantly scale back Eversource’s WT-11 tree-clearing project, which would affect land near Buffam Falls Conservation Area and other sensitive habitats in town. A regional advocacy group, including a Pelham Planning Board member, argues for more selective vegetation management, while Eversource defends the plan as necessary for grid reliability and environmental stewardship.
