A Memorial for Stephen Thorpe

• Location of the memorial seat

    6 September 2024

  We have been talking with Council about the memorial seat and as plans develop, here's a video showing the proposed location in the Blockhouse Bay Recreational Reserve.

  In the meantime, we would love to see photographs of examples of seats and park furniture you may have seen that have been installed along special themes. If you have photos or suggestions how we can acknowledge Stephen's work and passion in this memorial, please email them to me, jacqui@nzbutterflies.org.nz I would be very grateful.
