An invasion in Taranaki! ๐พ๐
A sharp-eyed young Kiwi has spotted an unwelcome visitor, the invasive gold clam, in Lake Rotomanu. Because of this discovery, the lake and scenic reserve have had to close for now.
Why the big concern? These tiny clams can blanket river and lake beds, outcompete native species, clog important water infrastructure, and harm overall water quality.
A big shout-out to Max for helping protect our natural spaces! ๐๐ฟ

Many New Zealand gardens arenโt seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days โ the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, whoโs 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!
