A volunteer conservation trust has begun building a predator proof fence across the base of Farewell Spit. 

The Healthpost Nature Trust has started on what will be a 4 km fence, protecting special fauna and flora living on the country's largest spit. 

The community initiative has been planned for years - and a Pledgeme campaign is underway to raise money to finish the job.
