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. Call 415-323-SEED to sign up or for more information.
