Poll: Are you a confident swimmer?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton’s Dianne June always regretted not learning how to swim and she doesn’t want others missing out on the important life skill so she’s making a substantial donation to Stuff’s safe swimming campaign.

Stuff, supported by the Waikato Times, with backing from Water Safety New Zealand, launched its safe swimming campaign in October.

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!
