Even if you’ve been living in New Hampshire for a long time, you may not know about a Seacoast forest that is only visible once or twice a day. Visit Odiorne Point State Park in Rye when the tide is very low, and you can see remnants of a drowned, often called sunken, forest. Walk across the rocky shore by Periwinkle Cove at the park’s south end, and wade into the shallows.

New Hampshire Public Radio is continuing to speak up for press freedom and public radio journalism. On Friday, NHPR joined a friend of the court brief filed in Washington, D.C., making the case for blocking President Trump’s executive order that would defund public media.

On top of that, NPR is suing the president to block an executive order that aims to prevent local stations that get federal money from purchasing NPR's programs.
