Nature Rocks - a Concert for Conservation is a fundraising concert to allow young people to attend outdoor school and summer camps at Long Lake Conservation Center. The concert is presented by the Long Lake Conservation Foundation, a 501(c)3 that exists to support Long Lake’s mission of inspiring a deep appreciation of nature, promoting wise use of natural resources and fostering a lifelong stewardship of the environment. 

 

The average middle school student spends 10 hours of screen time each day, but less than 10 minutes of time in nature. Studies have found that outdoor school experiences, like those to Long Lake, greatly reduce anxiety and other social/emotional issues, and improve academic achievement. We believe that spending time in nature is essential for physical and mental well-being

and want as many young people as possible to experience

the wonders of nature. Or, as one Long Lake student shouted in excitement: "This is so much better than Fortnite!"

Join us in our mission to inspire the next

generation of outdoor enthusiasts.
