Butterfly park/garden at Pohe Island
Hi There, I'm looking for a group of interested people to help with setting up an area to grow butterflies near the dog park on Pohe Island. Last year the round bales that were made looked so picturesque at dusk, it sparked my imagination to have butterflies flying around.
The WDC has given approval and now we just need to plant swan plants and other butterfly food plants over time.
So, # i need some volunteers first up to pull up the kikuya in the area designated.
,
and # we need some swan plants to put in. I can get some for $15 per large plant, but donated ones would be awesome.
Who would like to help out?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
