- We need acorns for next year's Native American Camp
- Acorns come from Oak Trees
- Our school is on Holly Oak - yes, we have acorns very close by
- There are many Oak Trees all around the city of La Verne/San Dimas/Glendora etc.
- Please collect as many acorns as you can find
- they need to be whole - not smashed - not rotten - not chewed on
- Please keep them in a paper bag or cardboard box.
- they will get moldy and rotten if stored in plastic
- No, those are not maggots (yes, they look like maggots) - Click here to see them
- The tiny white bugs are Acorn Larvae which will become Acorn Weevils
- See the tiny hole in the acorn? That acorn is no good to us because it already has a grub (larvae) in it.
- You may want to store the bag/box of acorns in the garage or covered patio
- Bring the acorns to school as soon as you collect a bag or small box full.
