Poll: Are you a fan of the pontoon?

The Team Reporter from Hamilton Press

Wellington Street beachgoers won’t have their revamped beach space finished before this summer, but their new favourite “temporary” pontoon is there to stay.

In January last year visitors to the river-side beach told the Waikato Times they were loving the new pontoon installed as a temporary replacement for the tired old jetty.

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!
