Whenever an R I President visits Auckland a native tree is planted in the Rotary Grove, situated between the band rotunda and the glass houses in the Domain. Every tree had a bronze plaque detailing the date of planting and the name of the person honoured. Paul Harris planted a tree in 1935. It is a Club responsibility to ensure that any trees that die are replaced, or plaques vandalised are repaired or replaced. The President should appoint a member of the Club to ensure that this area is well preserved and to co-ordinate plantings. A “Seat of friendship” was erected in the Rotary Grove in honour of Harold Thomas.
