Mindy Lam remembers climbing trees and her mother calling her when she sat quietly in high branches, not wanting to come inside. She would pick the fruit when her younger brothers and sisters were too small to reach. They would call up to her, she said, laughing.
Growing up on a farm in Hong Kong, she saw the bright flashing colors of birds, and moths as large as her two hands. She would jump from rock to rock and wade in the river, looking for shrimp and minnows and dragonflies.
Her family restored the farmhouse, and she would help her father, collecting eggs from the chickens.

â Robert T. Leverett, Florence-based co-founder of the Native Tree Society and co-author of âThe Sierra Club Guide to the Ancient Forests of the Northeastâ
