Poll: Should Auckland's popular Takapuna Beach be dog-free?

Reporter North Shore Times

A runner who was "hit full force" and injured by an excited labradoodle-type dog at a popular Auckland beach is hitting out at the council.

Belmont woman Stacey Hart had just started her run on Tuesday, shortly after 10am, a time when dogs are prohibited on Takapuna beach, when she was hit below the legs and knocked onto hard sand.

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!
