Acorn Collection Day

09/25/2010 by Robin Elton

acorn collection

Volunteers are needed!

What:

DNREC’s 6th Annual Acorn Collection Day

Where:

New Castle County
Lums Pond State Park
1068 Howell School Rd.
Bear, Del. 19701
Meet at Area 2, first parking lot

Kent County
Smyrna Rest Area
5500 DuPont Highway
Smyrna, Del. 19977
Meet at the building entrance

Sussex County
Holts Landing State Park
Holts Landing Road
Millville, DE 19970
Meet on Marlin Drive (left of entrance)

When:

Saturday, October 16 9am-noon

Why:

Volunteer, gain community service hours and help Delaware’s environment. Volunteers will collect acorns from places where seedlings would not generally be able to grow – along trail edges, open spaces and roadsides. The acorns will be scattered in reforestation areas to grow on their own. The oak trees will expand wooded areas and forested corridors that provide valuable habitat – shelter and food – for many native wildlife species. Bag and collection materials will be available at each site.

Pre-registration is encouraged by contacting Lynne Staub at (302) 735-3600 or by email, Lynne.Staub@state.de.us.

We’re going! Want to join us?
