Fostering Connection, Increasing Access

With your support, our vision for the future is becoming a reality! This year, we launched a new mobile guide that dives into the culture, history, and ecology of our campus. And thanks to generous community support, donations from our Summer Campaign will allow us to make our campus more accessible for all.

At Reflection Riding, connection is at the heart of everything we do. Our connections to this place, its history, and our shared future continue to come to life in new and meaningful ways.

With generous support from Bloomberg Philanthropies, we launched a new mobile guide, becoming the first in Chattanooga to join hundreds of museums, gardens, and cultural institutions on the Bloomberg Connects Arts+Culture app. Our accessible and free mobile guide features interactive maps, virtual tours, and historical interpretation, helping people discover the layered stories that make this place so special. With new content added each season, every visit will offer fresh opportunities for discovery.

At the same time, our Summer Campaign: “Laying the Groundwork for the Future” made it possible to strengthen the physical connections people have with our campus. Thanks to generous community support, we can revitalize the Welcome Center, the gateway through which more than 100,000 people experience Reflection Riding each year. An ADA-compliant restroom and safer pathways will make the site more welcoming and accessible for all.

Together, these digital and physical projects are fostering deeper connection to nature and one another.
