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!

Poll: Can changing the way we shop actually make a difference? 💸💸💸

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Shopping has become such a big part of our everyday lives, and the choices we make can influence more than we realise.

If you’d like to make those dollars work harder for our local communities, consider choosing small. Households spend more than $110 billion with big businesses each year. Shifting a portion of that toward small, local retailers can make a huge difference for the wider small-business economy.

The yellow-legged hornet has distinctive dark legs with bright yellow tips. Hornets are also much larger than honeybees and common wasp species seen in New Zealand.

The yellow-legged hornet is a biosecurity concern due to its potential impact on honeybee and wild bee populations.

How to serve trespass notice?

👉🏼 You can trespass someone verbally or in writing. A written a trespass notice is useful in case of any dispute over whether you trespassed someone.

👉🏼 You can use a template to create a trespass notice:
To serve a trespass notice in writing, you need to write the trespassed person a notice warning them that you do not allow them to enter the property and will call the Police if they do. You can use the template on the police website: www.police.govt.nz... or one on the Community Law website: communitylaw.org.nz...

👉🏼 You need three copies of the trespass notice:
You will need three copies. That is, one copy each for you, the person being trespassed, and the Police.

👉🏼 Deliver a copy of the trespass notice to the trespassed person:
You or an attending Police officer can give the trespassed person the notice in person, or you can post the notice to their address. The Trespass Act 1980 does not allow you to deliver a trespass notice by email or other electronic form.
If you try to deliver the notice in person and the trespasser lets it fall to the ground (refuses to accept it) you can still consider it served. Keep their copy and write on it that they refused to accept it.

👉🏼 Deliver a copy of the trespass notice to the Police:
The two ways to deliver the Police copy of the trespass notice are:
* Report a non-emergency report to the police online:
www.police.govt.nz... and attach an electronic copy of the trespass notice.
* If a Police officer is present when you give the notice to the trespassed person, you can give the Police copy to the attending Police officer.

👉🏼 The NZ Police website has more information about serving a Trespass Notice: www.police.govt.nz...
