Near Winter’s home in Studio City sits a small riverside park shaded by cottonwood trees, where the native plants attract hummingbirds.

The man killed by a tree branch on Tuesday had been on a popular walking trail in the New Zealand capital.

But take one cutting from a palm tree, you get a single new tree.

Environmentalists warn that development projects threaten the region's unique mix of dunes, pine forests, gnarled cork trees and an endless patchwork of rice fields.
