Community patrol

I have just spent a day with community patrol teams from around Canterbury and and South Island. We had informative sessions from the police and the day was capped off with a great awards dinner. There must be more people in this wonderful community of ours who could help out a few hours one day or evening a week/fortnight to be a presence in the community. We have people involved from young people wanting to get involved with the police as a career to retired folk wanting to give back to the community, and everything in between. If you have a clean police record and want to help support your community then contact your local area police.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
