Upper Hutt is showing its solidarity with the people of Ukraine by lighting up its fantail sculpture on State Highway Two, blue and gold.
The fantail welcomes people to Upper Hutt and Mayor Wayne Guppy says lighting it up in the colours of Ukraine sends an important message.
“Our thoughts are with those in our community who are affected by the conflict in Ukraine. We've lit up our iconic fantail on SH2 in blue and gold, joining other monuments and landmarks around the world, to show our support.”

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!
