Waitākere and Hunua Ranges – Under Controlled Area Notices
To help stop the spread of Kauri dieback there is now a Controlled Area Notice in place on currently open tracks of the Waitākere Ranges. A Controlled Area Notice also applies to areas (not just tracks) of the Hunua Ranges. Theses notices have been declared under Section 131 of the Biosecurity Act 1993.
Visitors into the Waitākere and Hunua Ranges have to scrub all visible soil from footwear and equipment and use all cleaning stations along the tracks as per instructions.
*Note, tracks may be under video surveillance.

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!
