| The ‘Ili‘ili‘ula stream is located in the Lihu‘e - Koloa Forest Reserve and is fed directly by Kaua‘i's highest peak: Mt. Kawaikini. The drainage is host to lowland wet cliffs, lowland wet forest, and may also contain unique species. The area is owned by Lihu‘e Land Co. and is the only location along the base of the Eastern Pali that is to receive protection from weeds. |
