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.

Ice Glen s famous old-growth hemlocks are dying Can Stockbridge save them before it s too late? | Local News

STOCKBRIDGE — A guru of old-growth forests, Robert T. Leverett recalls first stepping into Ice Glen back in the early 1990s and thinking to himself, “Oh, my God. This is the real deal.” He declared it one of the most spectacular woodland stands in New England. But, today, he speaks with the funereal gloom of this misty-cloaked cleft just south of the village. Quote “It’s sad when an icon of the Northeast forest is lost. That’s what’s at stake here.” — Robert T. Leverett, Florence-based co-founder of the Native Tree Society and co-author of “The Sierra Club Guide to the Ancient Forests of the Northeast”
