Mission

Reflection Riding restores the vital connection between people and nature. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to experience nature, regardless of where they live or their economic status. We believe that when the benefits of the outdoors are accessible to everyone, Chattanooga becomes stronger and more connected.

Wildlife ConservationReflection Riding connects people with native wildlife to inspire a lifetime of nature-based values. Our wildlife team cares for non-releasable, native wildlife. We are a member of the Red Wolf SAFE breeding program, helping to protect Red Wolves--the most endangered canid in the world--and increase the wild population.

Expenses: $395K

Land Conservation/Habitat RestorationReflection Riding actively manages a 300+ acre landscape to safeguard populations of imperiled plant and animal species. We advocate for native plant restoration through teaching, local government and agency partnerships, and native plant sales.
