Help our monarchs!

Did you know that monarch butterflies are, right now, in overwintering mode?

They will still visit your garden on sunny days, but then when it's cold or wet they 'regroup' into colonies in tall trees, sheltering on the sunny side from the cold and the wind. They can be found in parks or on golf courses, anywhere where there's tall trees.

These monarchs will wait out the winter and return to our gardens in the spring to mate and lay eggs on swan plants. They need our help! (Thanks Elizabeth Amber for these gorgeous photos!)

Please help us look after our beautiful butterflies. This website is somewhere you can learn more about them.

So I merged onto NW motorway from Waterview heading east, it was usual observation of nearly every vehicle mobilised that morning up each others business, so i proceeded to hang back to create a sizeable gap which i know can annoy others. But then it seemed everyone else around did same in unison and then suddenly the unthinkable happened, the motorway opened right up and everyone was suddenly moving at 80kms with a good gap had between each vehicle, and the sun rose and I saw that miracle folks. I got to Remuera from Blockhouse in 25 mins?! Kia Ora Westies....

We're planting native trees at Wenderholm! Wenderholm holds a special place in Auckland’s history as its first Regional Park—and one of the most picturesque.

Native planting at this site not only enhances a beautiful recreation site for residents of Tāmaki Makaurau, but also provides erosion control, helping prevent runoff into the harbour, and associated significant soil and water quality benefits.

In 1953, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip spent a day picnicking at Wenderholm — so come and help plant native trees for the Jubilee at this special site.
