This kit was created for teachers, youth group leaders and others who wish to share their passion for oaks and lead acorn plantings.
The kit contains resources (files are in PDF file format) related to oak ecology, oak identification, propagating oaks via acorns, and oak-themed youth education activities.
For additional materials and guidance related to planting acorns and caring for seedlings, contact Eric.
Funding for the Kit comes from the CA Coastal Conservancy
