Watch out for toxic algae
Toxic algae are starting to appear in some Marlborough streams and rivers. Parents and dog owners are warned that it poses a health risk to children and animals.
While higher concentrations of the algae are present in parts of the Omaka and Wairau rivers, please be aware that it could be present in other areas.
The naturally occurring toxic algae are more prolific in summer when longer days and higher temperatures provide good growing conditions.
Have you seen toxic algae in a stream or river near you?

Some Choice News!
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!
