NaturallyScott
At least once a week, I’ll bring you the very best of America’s spectacular world of nature — from birds to mammals, to reptiles and amphibians. From soaring mountains to endless plains, from rugged coastlines to rivers and streams.
Each episode will feature an expert guest — a ranger, a researcher, a birder, or an adventurer — someone who has seen what we want to see and been where we want to go.

This week on NaturallyScott, Scott Harris is joined by Lynn Scarlett—former Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior, lifelong conservationist, and a woman with stories as wild as the places she’s worked.
In this episode, Lynn shares:
- What it’s like to lie in the sand at night collecting eggs from a leatherback turtle
- The awe of standing on Midway Island, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of albatross
- A surreal moment sitting on an alligator’s head
- Reflections on being eighth in line to the U.S. presidency
- Her leadership role in shaping America’s nearly 600 National Wildlife Refuges
From sea turtles to national parks, Lynn’s journey blends field science, public service, and unforgettable wildlife encounters.
