New England News

Headlines from Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut and Vermont, featured on NHPR's All Things Considered and on NHPR.org.

  • Piping plovers have made a remarkable recovery in Massachusetts. But the tiny, threatened shorebird is declining in other states, like Maryland and Virginia. Experts aren't quite sure why the disparity exists, but they suspect food abundance and habitat play a role. Climate change may alter both.
  • Fans, investors and local elected officials are all interested in bringing a WNBA team to Boston. But with the league's expansion plan set through 2030 and the Connecticut Sun hoping to avoid an out-of-state move, it may not be anytime soon.
