A Framework for the Future
Our brand-new Framework is an inclusive and equitable vision for Reflection Riding that will: build a sense of excitement for both the history and future of our 300-acre campus; guide the restoration and conservation of the unique ecology of this place; and engage the next generation of nature lovers. We can't wait to share it with you.

Immersive, nature-based learning
At Reflection Riding, we believe that education is the key first step towards conservation, preservation, and a better understanding of the world. Our educational programs aim to cultivate and inspire an interest in science and the importance of nature with hands-on, experiential learning that leaves a lasting impact on kids of all ages.
Wildlife conservation
We’re proud participants in the endangered American red wolf breeding program. We also house a collection of raptors and other non-releasable wildlife for educational purposes.
