Invitation to free public forum on “Safety in your home”…

Wendy Richards from Volunteering New Plymouth

This Thursday – 19th June at the NP District Council
The event, as usual, will start at 9:30am with coffee and tea available beforehand and is intended to allow a time for questions and finish at 11 am.

We sometimes forget that the Fire and Emergency Service, the Ambulance Service and to a lesser extent our Police force, are only really made viable by the huge amount of work and hours that are performed by the largely unsung volunteer heroes within our communities around the country.

Representatives from the Police, Fire Service and neighbourhood Watch will be presenting

On behalf of NP Positive Ageing, Age Concern Taranaki, Grey Power NP and of course, the NP District Council

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!
