What Could Make Life on the Peninsula Better?

The Chair from Devonport Peninsula Trust

The Peninsula, from Hauraki to Bayswater and Devonport, is a great place to live! Te Hau Kapu Devonport Peninsula Trust, guided by volunteers, has been running programmes and events in the local area for 15 years and is interested to find out how we could all build an even stronger community over the next 12 months.

Share your ideas by filling out a 2 to 3 minute survey online here, www.surveymonkey.com....

Survey cards are also available throughout the peninsula with collection boxes at The Vic Theatre Trust Devonport, The Rose Centre Belmont, and Devonport Library.

Some Choice News!

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!
