All signs are pointing towards a good season of acorn production for white oaks (Quercus alba) in southern Indiana this year. This is exciting news for forest wildlife like the squirrels, deer, and birds who will feast on this bounty, and for you! The Vallonia State Tree Nursery is looking to purchase 4,118 pounds of white oak acorns this fall from collectors around the state. You can earn 4 cents an acorn when you collect a minimum of 10 pounds of quality white oak acorns! Learn more about how you can collect seeds for extra cash through our seed purchasing program at dnr.IN.gov/forestry/tree-seedling-nurseries/seed-purchasing-program!
