Recently, while waiting to visit my dentist, I walked the trail in the Waimea Nature Park, also known as Ulu La’au. The trail follows the Waikoloa Stream for about a mile from the town center down toward the ocean. It’s a work in progress, with volunteers removing invasive species and planting native and canoe plants in their place.
On my walk, the Waikoloa Stream had water in it, but not much. I think it would be fun to walk there after a heavy rain. But one thing I liked was the abundance of benches, some of which offered nice views of the park, the stream, and the hills surrounding the town.

Always reminds me of Jude’s bench challenge, a shot like that, Graham 🤗💚

I like benches. There’s an art to siting them right. They’ve done well in this park.

It’s always nice to see places where they’re trying to replace invasive species with more native plants. Still a lot of work to do though.

My overarching Landcare group, Clarence Landcare Inc, looks after all of the Landcare groups in the Clarence River Catchment. A mere 22,700 square Kms. It is very satisfying helping a group repair say 5km of riverbanks
