Tree stumps and wood chips from trees that were removed from the South Brighton pine forest. The photographer comments, "A Sunday afternoon ride to New Brighton, then back via Aranui, Wainoni, Dallington, and Richmond. Not a cheerful experience. South Brighton pine forest - gone! The pines had become poisoned by the rising saline water table, so they've all had to come out".
