Poll: Zoo plan open for discussion

Kelley Tantau Reporter from Hamilton Press

A plan to enhance Hamilton Zoo is now available for community feedback. Among the ideas included are overnight “glamping” experiences and more direct interactions between visitors and animals. The plan is not funded, and will need to be considered as part of Hamilton City Council’s 2018-2028 10-Year Plan. Visit: hamilton.govt.nz/zooplan. What are your thoughts?

Some Choice News!

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!
