Poll: Would you like to swim in Lake Rotoroa?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

Making Hamilton’s Lake Rotoroa swimmable again seems impossible to some, but a group of passionate locals say it can be done.

Whakamana ki Rotoroa, Go Eco, Hamilton City Council, Waikato Regional Council and Mana Whenua Ngāti Wairere are joining forces to improve the water quality of the lake, but it’s the dream of making it swimmable again that is the driving force.

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!
