Steward the Next Generation
Dear Supporter,
Some places grow more precious with each generation. For multiple generations, the Oehmig family has discovered Reflection Riding as their sacred space.
“This place feeds every part of my body—my heart, my soul, all my senses,” shares grandmother Margy. She’s watched her grandchildren discover the same paths she has walked for decades, their eyes filled with wonder.
Her daughter-in-law, Esmé, also carries this legacy. “Walking on the boardwalk with my mother is one of my earliest memories,” she recalls. Now, she brings her own children here. “When they’re outside, they can get their hands dirty, discover things, and be challenged. It’s where their creativity really thrives.”
For young Lula, Margy’s granddaughter, these grounds are pure magic. From summer camp adventures to school field trips studying endangered species, she’s developing a deep connection to nature that will last a lifetime.
Reflection Riding offers something increasingly rare: an accessible green space where families connect with nature and each other. But maintaining this natural haven for future generations requires your support.
