Ridge To Reefs Inc. operates in environmental services and collaborates with local communities to protect and restore ecosystems through nature-based solutions that aim to deliver durable benefits for people and the environment. The organization emphasizes building local capacity and ensuring that communities ultimately own and sustain the projects, pursuing integrated social, agricultural, and ecological resilience. It begins by identifying local social and ecological challenges with partners, then designs, plans, and implements nature-based interventions intended to produce tangible outcomes. Based in Sykesville, Maryland, Ridge To Reefs engages in pollution management through on-site restoration practices and green infrastructure within watershed contexts, including restoring historic wetlands and mangroves and creating treatment wetlands and biofilters. The group also emphasizes tying environmental protection to local economic sustainability by supporting sustainable local businesses and integrating renewable energy into its watershed work. In 2021, Ridge To Reefs partnered with the City of Harrisonburg, Virginia, to install a woodchip bioreactor funded by a National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant.
