New to New Zealand? Got a story to share?

The Team Reporter from Southland Times

We want to get in touch with migrants who want to share their personal stories of what it's like living in New Zealand - and in particular Southland. The good, the bad and all things that come with being new to a country.

If you would like to be part of this project then please get in touch by emailing Natasha.holland@stuff.co.nz

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!
