A Memorial for Stephen Thorpe
A memorial seat fit for a NZ environmental hero.
Blockhouse Bay, Auckland
Stephen Thorpe was a knowledgeable entomologist who was attacked and killed in a senseless crime outside the office where he spent countless hours sharing his knowledge voluntarily for the advancement and conservation of NZ's biodiversity. We wish to install a seat in the Blockhouse Bay Recreational Reserve, Auckland, where he spent much valuable time, a seat where people can sit and enjoy Nature. Stephen would appreciate that.
About us
The Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust is a registered charity committed to protecting butterflies, moths and their habitats across New Zealand.
Use of funds
The funds raised will be put towards the purchase and installation of a park seat in Stephen's honour - hopefully decorated with some of the bugs which he championed.
