Native tree

Bruce from Herne Bay

Fascinating to see this little private seaside development over the last few months as I have kayaked around the Marine Parade area in the Bay of Hernes.
Here's what the council website states;
​Tree or vegetation near a body of water
Trees or vegetation (non-pest species) are likely to be protected if:
on or near (within 20m) steep coastal cliffs - if the cliff is within 150m of the high tide mark
within or close to sensitive coastal or wetland areas.

Not the first resident to destroy pohutukawa in this this hood, but definitely one of the most blatant in the last decade I’ve been paddling this part of town. What did the neighbours think I wonder?

Some Choice News!

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!
