Sage Mountain Retreat Center & Native Plant Preserve has become one of New England's foremost learning centers for herbs and earth awareness. Located on 500 pristine acres in central Vermont, this beautiful piece of Earth Mother is a natural sanctuary and teaching site. There is an incredible assortment of wild herbs and flowers growing in habitats that vary from meadows, forest to swamp. Our wild neighbors include deer, bear, moose, beavers, otters, fox and a wonderful variety of feathered folk that honor us with their presence. It is with a special feeling in our heart that we invite others to share in the bounty and teachings of this land with us

The International Herb Symposium brings together some of the world’s most respected and honored herbal healers to share their wisdom, love, and knowledge of the plant world. As our Earth Mother becomes smaller, the need for planetary healing and consciousness becomes even greater. Herbalists and people who love plants have a unique connection to that healing consciousness. The tools that we use, the plant medicines of the earth, are an umbilical cord to her heart. This weekend is dedicated towards re-establishing and creating a deeper connection to the healing essence of the plants both for planetary and personal healing.

Our Mission:

United Plant Savers' mission is to protect native medicinal plants of the United States and Canada and their native habitat while ensuring an abundant renewable supply of medicinal plants for generations to come

These Are Exciting Times for Herbalists. We are witnessing the art of herbalism rapidly regaining its rightful place in the American tradition of health and healing. However, as herbalism flourishes and winds its way into the "main stream" of America, it is eliciting a unique set of problems and concerns. Where once only a small handful of people wildcrafted plants in the wild, ever increasing numbers are now heading to the hills.

 Where once herbal enterprises were few and far between, now the competition often forces one to focus on the need for larger production and greater diversity of herbal products, thus utilizing more plant resources. Furthermore, other countries with an uninterrupted tradition of herbal healing are experiencing a severe shortage of medicinal plants and look to the North American continent for supplying these herbs. This increased usage along with habitat destruction is causing an ever-increasing shortage of plant resources, including some of our most treasured medicinal species.

Our work, the work of United Plant Savers, is to research, educate and protect in the interests of our plants and their habitats. We hope that you will join us in this worthwhile and important mission.
