More info and resources re: proposed industrial incinerator project

Jennifer from Tamahere

For anyone who might like to keep up to speed on all of the info, submission-writing, public meetings (yes, some are on ZOOM), etc. around the proposed industrial incinerator project in Te Awamutu - please join the Don't Burn Waipa FB group. I'll link it in this post. There are heaps of resources there, links to events, flyers you can use, etc. This is a very active/engaged group of people who are fighting this project that would be a disaster for our regional environment AND would set a precedent for building MORE of these types of facilities in NZ. www.facebook.com...

On Tuesday, the Waikato Times revealed Waikato Thoroughbred Racing’s (WTR) plans to buy 150ha of farmland south of Hamilton to house the region’s three racing clubs at a new purpose-built racecourse and event centre.

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!
