It starts with an "s" and ends with a "t." It comes out of you, it comes out of me. I know what you're thinking, but it's not that. Us rangers call it SCAT. Join us for an up-close look at (replica) scat to learn what critters we have at the park and what they've been munching on. This program is suitable for all ages.
