Southland fire fighting heroes...
Southland communities rely on volunteers to look after them and their properties when there is a fire or an accident. Those volunteers are willing to drop what they are doing and answer the call to help the people who depend on them, but they can only do that with the support of bosses and colleagues who allow them to leave during work hours and cover their roles.
Find out more about the businesses supporting local firefighters in our local community and let's give them a hearty thanks...

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!
