Three generations on an island in our Hauraki Gulf

Why do we only recognise a "climate emergency" when it's right in front of us, when our playing fields begin to drown, as is evident now in Little Shoal Bay?

Sue Neureuter's "Stories of The Noises" at 3pm this Sunday (8/9) at Sunnynook Community Centre, 148 Sycamore Drive, is about one family's experience of a changing Gulf over three generations. A very personal and moving account supported with images and sound. Entry is FREE. Here's a link to that event on Neighbourly, www.neighbourly.co.nz...

Here is Brad Flahive's coverage of Little Shoal Bay's significant issues: www.stuff.co.nz...

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!
