📰 News we're reading
• Rye residents vote to fully open trails decommissioned out of concern for wildlife (wmur.com) — Rye residents have overwhelmingly voted to fully reopen and maintain seven local trails that had been decommissioned earlier this year to protect sensitive wildlife habitat. The ballot measure, supported by 81% of voters, reverses the Conservation Commission's decision and restores regular maintenance, pleasing trail users but disappointing commissioners who worry about long-term impacts on wildlife. 
• Wednesday's weather: Overcast and cooler, high of 76 (inklink.news) — If you're heading to Rye Beach today, expect mostly cloudy skies, low-70s temperatures, and gentle southeast winds with low rip current risk and small surf. The broader Seacoast forecast calls for a cooler, overcast day around 76 degrees, followed by a warmer, sunnier stretch into the weekend that should be great for outdoor plans.
