About Reflection Riding Arboretum and Botanical Garden

Reflection Riding is a nonprofit arboretum, botanical garden, nature center, and historical site on a campus of more than 300 acres about ten minutes from downtown Chattanooga. The grounds mix public park space, nature center programs, and wild lands. Visitors can explore trails and meadows, and the site runs a native plant nursery. It also takes part in the American red wolf breeding program and keeps raptors and other non-releasable wildlife for education. Its staff run programs for kids, field trips, and community events, and volunteers help with conservation work. Visitors are asked to make a donation to support the mission, and the campus is open to everyone.
