Launching Heather Newell's campaign for Upper Hutt City Council

After a few terms away from local body politics, I have new enthusiasm and concern for our local community of Upper Hutt. I feel as if we are at the crossroads - the left hand turn is for stagnation, the right hand turn takes us on a wide and safe road leading to a beautiful look-out where we see the valley, the hills, lakes, river and lots of satisfied people. I want to be on that road! I have served Upper Hutt previously as a local body councillor and now I want to be back there, working on your behalf. When the time comes, please vote for Heather Newell.

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!
