Ask Scarlett

Ask Scarlett is a section in the magazine which allows readers to have nature-related questions "answered" by Scarlett Fox. The section began in 1991, replacing the Who-o-o Knows? section with Wise Old Owl. During the middle of the 2000s, this feature was replaced with Ask Rick, however it was reverted back to Scarlett answering the questions in December 2018. Despite being a regular feature, not all issues of the magazine feature any Ask Scarlett columns.
Readers from all over the United States send nature-related questions, which would later be featured in issues of the magazine. In recent years, many questions are repeated from older issues, however new questions can still be submitted.https://rangerrick.org/ask-scarlett-2/
In 1997, a special issue of Ask Scarlett featured questions and answers about Scarlett herself.https://twitter.com/RangerRickMag/status/398564501512921088/photo/1 The same questions would later be repeated in the February 2019 issue, however, some answered were retroactively altered in order to fit the modern canon of the magazines.
In 2023, a web series started on the Ranger Rick YouTube channel with Tanisha Christensen providing the voice of Scarlett.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rh-PeciKw5s&ab_channel=RangerRick
A book titled Ask Scarlett: Can Being Outside Help Me De-Stress? And More Questions About Nature and You is set to be released in September 2025. The book will be written by Rebecca "Becky" Baines.https://www.apa.org/pubs/magination/ask-scarlett
