PLANT ACORNS WITH MAGIC AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY!

OAKS IN DECLINE:
	Mature oak trees on Stanford's open space land are dying.  Yet young 
	oaks are scarce.  This scene repeats itself many times throughout 
	California.  Human actions are clearly at the root of this decline.  

WHAT CAN WE DO?
	Join with others in planting and caring for young oaks. Learn about how 
	we may restore balance to our local environment. 

DATES:
	Saturdays beginning October 31 through December

TIME:
	9:00 a.m. until noon

LOCATION:
	Stanford's Academic Reserve (a.k.a. the Stanford Foothills or "The 
	Dish"), including the site of the recent fire.  Additional sites in the 
	Stanford Arboretum.  We will give specific directions to each day's 
	sites when you call.

WHO:
	Everybody's welcome - individuals and groups.  A typical planting day 
	attracts 50 to 100 people from Stanford and surrounding communities.

WHAT TO WEAR:
	Sturdy shoes.  Layered clothing to accommodate morning chill, mid-day 
	heat, wind, and sometimes rain.  Long pants protect against thistles 
	and poison oak.  Hats and sunscreen are advised.

WHAT TO BRING:
	Drinking water and enthusiasm!

COMMITMENT:
	Planting acorns accounts for only about 10% of the labor needed to 
	establish young oak trees.  Throughout the year, Magic staff and 
	volunteers care for the oaks every Saturday morning 9 a.m. - noon.  If 
	you come to plant, please plan to join us at least twice during the 
	coming year to help maintain the young trees.  Maintenance includes 
	watering, weeding, mulching, clearing, surveying, and repairing 
	protective cages.
