GIN TRAPS AT LAKE PUKETERINI IN HUNTLY

Hine from Huntly

A WARNING TO ALL DOG OWNERS AND CHILDREN walking the bush trails around Lake Puketerini. I saw a pink plastic triangle nailed to a tree and thought it was probably a trail marker for an upcoming cross country or mountainbiking event: wrong! I had no idea of the significance of these pink triangles and ribbons until I inadvertantly set off one of these traps on the ground, chained to the tree. Are gin traps even legal in this country, let alone placed alongside a walkway? For your info: I counted 4 traps within a 50 metre stretch along the track running between the the stream and the West Boundary of the park. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN AND YOUR DOGS AND KIDS SAFE.

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!
