Butterfly park/garden at Pohe Island

Fiona and Mark from Kensington

Hi There, I'm looking for a group of interested people to help with setting up an area to grow butterflies near the dog park on Pohe Island. Last year the round bales that were made looked so picturesque at dusk, it sparked my imagination to have butterflies flying around.

The WDC has given approval and now we just need to plant swan plants and other butterfly food plants over time.

So, # i need some volunteers first up to pull up the kikuya in the area designated.
,
and # we need some swan plants to put in. I can get some for $15 per large plant, but donated ones would be awesome.



Who would like to help out?

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
