Pearl Creek Restoration Project
Pearl Creek (off Cotterell Road, Appleby, access from the Great Taste Trail cycle path) is a spring-fed stream that flows into the Waimeha/Waimea Inlet. It was part of the extensive Waimea delta system, now fragmented by different land uses including farming. The Creek is two kilometres from its spring to the Waimeha/Waimea Inlet and is habitat for birds, fish and invertebrates.
