Poll: Do you want Te Huia to continue?

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

The future funding of Hamilton’s Te Huia rail link to Auckland is now in the hands of the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA).

But any decisions coming from the NZTA’s board won’t be made until it meets again in February after the Waikato Regional Council voted unanimously to send it a letter asking for an extension of Te Huia’s trial period for an extra year with the same levels of funding.

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!
