Veteran Initiative
THE BARN GROUP PROVIDES U.S. MILITARY VETERANS AND THEIR FAMILIES WITH HOPE AND HEALING THROUGH NATURE-BASED ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS.
The Barn Group at Rock Fence is dedicated to educating, enriching, and empowering military veterans and their families through engagement with nature and hands-on learning about conservation. Our goal is to help restore the kinships affected during times of absence while serving.
The properties we use for our events consist of diverse wildlife habitats, food plots, fishing ponds, skeet ranges, shooting ranges, lodges, and miles of trails.
The Barn Group at Rock Fence is a place of hope and healing. Research has demonstrated that the health benefits of spending time in nature include reduced stress, better sleep, reduced depression and anxiety. It builds greater happiness, a sense of well-being and life satisfaction, reduced aggression, enhanced social connectedness, improved postoperative recovery, and improved pain control. These benefits are especially important for military veterans and their families, many of whom struggle in these areas.
Through our education and outreach programs, we hope to serve veterans from all walks of life and from all over the U.S.

ABOUT US
“The Barn at Rock Fence” gets its name from a significant historical feature on the property. This feature is a remarkable dam made of stones, standing at an impressive height of twelve feet.
The stones were carefully stacked on a granite shoal, creating a sturdy structure that spans an unnamed stream. This unique and historic dam serves as a distinctive landmark and a testament to the craftsmanship of the past.
