Sky High Nature's Clean-Up Crew

Scavengers aren't gross, they're essential ecosystem heroes!
Join us in learning about nature's clean-up crew. In this program we'll learn about the important role scavengers play in maintaining a healthy environment, how they find their food, and the unique adaptations that help them do it. Along the way, we'll bust some common myths about vultures and see why these birds deserve more appreciation than they usually get.
