Herekawe Stream Project 2012

Herekawe Walkway is an all-weather walkway along the Herekawe Stream to link inland

residential areas with the coast, to reestablish natural habitat through the planting of

native trees, and to provide a recreational facility for the Taranaki community.

The Herekawe Stream Project was launched in 2004. It began with weed control and the

fencing of more than 1,500m of riparian margins to exclude stock from neighbouring farms.

Over 6,000 native trees were planted by more than 800 community volunteers.

The Herekawe Walkway opened in January 2007. It marked the result of a four-year

commitment to this unique community project
