📰 News we're reading

• Town Of Bedford: Beware Of Phishing Email Being Sent To Residents (patch.com) — Bedford officials are warning residents about a phishing email that falsely claims to be from the Town and requests payments, including wire transfers. The message comes from a suspicious usa.com address, and anyone who responded or sent money is urged to contact the Bedford Police Department to file a report and protect their information.
   

• Merrimack resident proposes mushrooms as PFAS solution (unionleader.com) — Bedford is among the communities where state officials say PFAS contamination from the former Saint-Gobain plant in Merrimack has affected areas along the Merrimack River. A young Merrimack environmental organizer is testing whether certain mushrooms can absorb and possibly break down these “forever chemicals,” hoping to launch a field-scale mycoremediation project that could offer a cheaper, less toxic cleanup option for nearby towns.
