Sage 2030 Vision Plan
What we do, where we're going, and how you can help us get there
Our work covers over 250 miles of trail in two counties, serving over 1.5 million residents. The Thomas Fire, the largest of a string of fires in the last decade, destroyed over 25 miles of trail and the homes of thousands.
Through the work of hundreds of volunteers, a professional staff of scientists and trail crew, and the cooperation of land managers, land trusts, and nonprofits, Sage has since brought back not only the 25 miles of trail lost during the Thomas Fire, but an additional 27 miles of historic trail lost to time and previous natural disasters (purple lines).
Beyond the restoration of trails, Sage has worked with local and national businesses to build new trails to better equitable public access to nature (blue polygons). This work has brought 15 miles of new trail and access to over 4000 acres of nature to residents between 2019 and 2022.
Looking forward, Sage has laid the foundation to double available trail access in the region by 20 - adding over 60 miles of restored single track, building 25 miles of new single track, and continuing maintenance of the existing 150 miles of trail. This work will connect communities, provide access to nature for disadvantaged populations, and stimulate local economies in the tourism and outdoor industry sector.
We have the opportunity to conserve nature and expand our access to it. To make our communities stronger and better connected. To make us all healthier - mentally and physically through time outdoors. But we need you to make that happen.
Become a member today to help make this goal a reality. For every local membership dollar, Sage brings in $5 from grants and foundations to circulate within our economy. Our goal is to raise $5,000,000 by 2030 to make these plans come to life.
