Michael Gaige

Michael Gaige is an independent consulting ecologist and a Saratoga County native. He works with organizations, landscape architects, and private landowners on historical ecology inventories, park and landscape design projects, and conservation planning for natural areas.

Michael holds an MS from Antioch University and BA from Prescott College and has taught field studies programs at several colleges and universities for nearly 20 years.

Since 2006 he has assisted Saratoga PLAN on various projects such as ecological inventories and trail planning.  Michael has an affinity for large old trees, the stories they tell about landscape change, and their ecological values. When not working he cannot be found because he is lost in the woods hiking or paddling.
