Is it safe to swim?
Water quality in Kāpiti's rivers and at our beaches is generally pretty good over summer, but there’s a few things to think about before you jump in.
– wait 2–3 days after rain before swimming, and avoid river mouths and stormwater outlets on our beaches
– keep an eye out for toxic algae during summer, dogs are particularly at risk while scavenging at the river’s edge.
And make sure you do summer right by checking if your favourite swimming spots are safe for swimming 👉🏼 www.lawa.org.nz...

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!
