Poll: Should we encourage freedom camping as a means to boost Auckland tourism?

Reporter North Shore Times

Reserves and public car parks around Auckland are likely to be opened up to freedom campers, as Auckland Council moves to meet its responsibilities under the 2011 Freedom Camping Act by creating freedom camping zones on council-owned land. Legacy bylaws, restricting freedom camping, are up for review. And, while new bylaws are being drafted, more sites will open up for freedom campers. What do you think?

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!
