Toxic algae warning
There is an amber alert for both the Waikanae River (from Jim Cooke Park to the coast) and the Ōtaki River (from SH1 to the coast.) Swimmers are advised to check for toxic algae and avoid swimming if present, particularly if detached velvety mats have washed up on the river's edge.
Children and dogs should be kept away from the affected areas.

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!
