Vulnerable Kakahi Found

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

Hidden away near Lake Wairarapa, the nationally vulnerable Echyridella aucklandica have been found. This species of kakahi is the rarer of the two species found in the Wellington Region and have previously only been recorded in the northern end of Lake Wairarapa 🌊 This new find is good news for this species as being present over a wider range of habitats and locations should help with the ongoing survival of their populations.

Some Choice News!

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!
