"Know your wetlands"
World Wetlands Day on February 2 is being promoted as a great opportunity for Kiwis to get to know their local wetlands – often described as “the kidneys of the country”.
Wetlands filter, absorb and transform water contaminants, particularly run-off and shallow groundwater from farms, and help reduce the amount of undesirable elements reaching streams, rivers and lakes. However, over 90 per cent of the country's wetlands have been drained in the past 200 years, with North Island regions most affected.
“Wetland areas are also good at capturing carbon, it's a nature-based solution to climate change that is even more effective than tree planting. All up, wetlands have a disproportionately high benefit compared to other ecosystems.
“But New Zealand's wetlands need restoration and looking after; we urge councils to beef up their efforts to support and promote the great work being done by landowners and increase funding for restoration projects.”

Had a great time making a website for Savante Design
Hey Team, it's Jack.
Just finished making a website for Savante Design which is an interior design agency run by the talented Penny Morton.
It was fun doing the design work which was much different than my previous clients; mainly because Penny is well versed in design so she had a lot of input to help aid the visual appeal of the site.
Sneak peek on the next site I'm working on: they grow and sell microgreens and edible plants...
