In 1998 the Wakemans purchased property on Cave Road in Highland County becoming Land Stewards in cooperation with the adjacent Arc of Appalachia Highlands Nature Sanctuary with the intention of conducting nature workshops there for children and adults. Barry led workshops at the Sanctuary and at the farm until the symptoms of ALS became so severe he was no longer able to do so.
