Mission and programs · 2023
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.
-
Public EducationWe create experiences that spark curiosity about the natural world. Each year, thousands of children experience our education programming either on our campus or in their classrooms thanks to our traveling animal ambassador team. Our educators focus on outreach to Hamilton County schools and dozens of schools across our region to introduce nature-based learning experiences, particularly for students who have limited access to these opportunities. Reflection Riding offers forest kindergarten and school on our campus, integrating academics with naturalist skills and outdoor exploration. We offer programming for the public - for families, children, adults and groups - on topics as varied as invasive species removal and management, endangered animals, and using native plants in your outdoor spaces.
Expenses $465,355 · Revenue $461,271
-
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 $342,749

Land Conservation/Habitat RestorationReflection Riding actively manages a 300+ acre landscape to safeguard populations of imperiled plant and animal species.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
