sometimes awesome things come in gross packages

SOLD OUT for 2023

Nothing says the holidays like chocolate scat! The elves* at Natural Lands are hard at work hand-crafting edible excrement that mimics the poo of native animal species.

Choose from a full-sized scat sampler, or buy single-scat stocking stuffers. All boxes include educational labels on how to identify different kinds of scat.

The Scat Sampler: The sampler includes scat from a variety of animals found in Pennsylvania, including raccoon, red fox, beaver, black bear, Canada Goose, snapping turtle, porcupine, river otter, and skunk. $25/box

Stocking Stuffers: These single-scat boxes make great small gifts. Available in raccoon, black bear, or red fox. $5/box

*In this case, the elves are teenager volunteers who have attended education programs at Crow’s Nest Preserve for many years and are now looking for ways to give something back. All proceeds go toward Crow’s Nest Preserve summer camp scholarships.

Scat orders can be picked up at three different Natural Lands properties: Crow’s Nest Preserve, Hildacy Preserve, and Stoneleigh: a natural garden. This year we are also offering pick up at the Orvis retail store in Downingtown. Natural Lands is pleased to partner throughout the year with Orvis, a family-owned company that gives 5% back to the community.  Watch for other partner-related events and ways to support Natural Lands at our region’s Orvis stores. SORRY, WE CANNOT SHIP SCAT! (It just doesn’t ship well… it gets all scattered. Get it? Scattered.)

Questions? Email Molly Smyrl. 

Orders for December 10th pickups at Stoneleigh or Crow’s Nest, as well as any orders for pickups at Orvis Downingtown, must be received by December 6th. All orders must be received by December 13th, though we may close orders earlier if we sell out before that date.
