  • Sage Metrano

    TREASURER

    Sage has been coming to Plum Island Since 1990 and has been a full-time resident since 1998. She loves the island to her core and can often be found strolling along the Basin with her Maine Coon cat, Cherokee Rose. A beach bum in her own right, Sage has been moved to tears by the injured birds and animals she has witnessed over the years as a result of the pollution caused by humans. She believes that change has to start with someone, so she’s starting in her own backyard and hopes to inspire change one beach at a time.
