Support your neighbours during an emergency!

The Team from Marlborough District Council

Last week was certainly busy on the emergency management front, and I hope you were able to get the information you needed about the weather and its potential impact.

Although we missed the worst of the weather, some parts of our region have been affected, so I hope everyone has dried out now. In an emergency, we need to support our neighbours, and the Marlborough Emergency Response Team (all volunteers) have just spent a couple of days supporting the Nelson and Tasman regions. Here’s some of the team kitted out and ready to go, just before they left on Wednesday afternoon.

Here are some useful links to help you prepare for an emergency:

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!

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Marlborough has a busy summer ahead, with plenty on the calendar, the latest being the Fruit Loop Festival, as reported by the Marlborough Express.

We want to know: Are big music and food events a good thing for the region? Does the boost they bring make the crowds worthwhile?
