Join the Aotearoa Bike Challenge with us

The Team from Whangarei District Council

Our staff are taking the Aotearoa Bike Challenge this February, using more bike rides to get to work and around. You and your colleagues could compete against us - why not? 🚲🚲

You know what's better than being stuck in boring car traffic? Riding a bike! Even if you're not fast it helps you to get around, get exercise, spot interesting things in the neighbourhood, and save lots of money on fuel and parking. So go on, give it a go!

The Aotearoa Bike Challenge is a competition between organisations to commute by bike during February. But it's so much fun that most people forget about the competition and just enjoy the fun of getting about by bike. Sign up for free as an individual or register your workplace: www.lovetoride.net...

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!
