📰 News we're reading

• Maurice's Campground plan falters at crowded Wellfleet town meeting (capecodtimes.com) — Wellfleet voters packed Monday’s town meeting, approving a $32.6 million operating budget and $1.44 million in capital borrowing before narrowly rejecting a nonbinding master plan for redeveloping town-owned Maurice’s Campground. Residents debated housing density, environmental fixes, and who should control future development, while also turning down two citizen petitions that sought stricter ownership requirements and town meeting veto power.
   

• Hiking This Trail In Massachusetts Is Like Entering A Fairytale (takingthekids.com) — If you’re looking for a memorable local hike, the Great Island Trail in Wellfleet offers shifting dunes, pine forest, and sweeping views of Cape Cod Bay and Wellfleet Harbor, all within a demanding sandy walk. The piece explains route options, tide timing, parking, and safety tips, plus touches on the area’s colonial and Wampanoag history so residents can better appreciate this national seashore gem.
