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.

Forest and Bird Nelson-Tasman hold a working bee on the second Saturday of each month, from 9am to 12noon, removing weeds and generally caring for the area. Access is along Cotterell Road, just west of the Waimea River bridge.
