Why Your Gift Matters Now

We are living in a time of unprecedented climate crisis. As we enter the sixth major extinction, protecting wild spaces has never been more urgent.

At Sage Mountain’s 600-acre sanctuary, we protect rare wildlife corridors, conserve endangered medicinal plants, build community resilience, and provide conservation education that influences land stewardship throughout Vermont and beyond.

Honoring Rosemary’s Vision

Renowned herbalist Rosemary Gladstar founded Sage Mountain with a powerful belief: that connection to plants, land, and community could heal us. For over thirty years, we’ve carried that vision forward through conservation, education, and healing.

Your gift ensures this legacy continues.

Lives Transformed

“Thanks to his experience in Afterschool in Nature, my son is doing better in school, his emotional health is improving, and his social skills are maturing. Despite personal interventions and school support, he has never excelled the way he has with your program. His enrollment is only possible through the scholarships and transportation you provide. He comes home regularly saying he is going to work at Sage Mountain one day – a true testament to how he feels at home at the Sanctuary.”
— Mother of Daniel, age 12
