Kicking off Season 2 of Silver On the Sage podcast, current full-time Director of Conservation, Lee Hughes joins the show. With humor and wisdom, Lee shares stories and highlights the positive impact that seasonal Philmont staff have on youth participants.  As one  of the first Backcountry Managers alongside the late Unit 41, Gene Schnell, Lee discusses how the ranch has evolved and improved throughout the years.  Last, but not at all least, Lee talks with us about the current work of the Philmont Conservation Department and all they're doing today to conserve the future of Philmont Scout Ranch.
