From tiny, smell-of-an-oily-rag neighbourhood schemes to large country-wide corporate-funded ventures, New Zealand has hundreds, if not thousands, of conservation projects doing their bit to get rid of pests around Aotearoa.
Country Life dropped in on some backyard builders at a garage in Te Horo, north of Wellington, to find out about the Predator-Free Te Horo project.
John Draper, Wayne McCausland and Quentin Long were busy making traps to catch pests in the area to provide safe passage for birds from the beach to the hills.
