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!

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.
Read business journalist Aimee Shaw's piece.
I am giving away this 18 year old Avanti bike. Still works but needs TLC. Shimano gear (works), brakes (work), and good tyres. Haven't been used in a long time. It comes with a rusty horn (VERY loud) that also works. She is ready to be loved again!

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.
