Sage /sāj/ 1. a person who has gathered a profound wisdom from the land of their home range.
Sages is a place-based platform for applying the writings and stories of past and present climbers, cowboys, river rats, rangers, naturalists, poets, and hobos to inform the current global conversation. Sages are stewards, scientists, and dirtbags that found inspiration in the public lands of their home ranges. The stories of these people transcend their generations and homelands to find relevancy in any time and place. It is our charge to impart the inherent wisdom of our planet’s wild lands.
The opinions expressed in Sages’ articles are those of the contributor and not Sages or the staff as a whole.
