Sedgwick Reserve

25 Oct, 03 AM - 26 Oct, 04 AM

The purpose of this assignment is to collect acorns from blue oak (and perhaps valley oak, depending on synchronicity of ripening). Acorn collection is the first part of an assignment in which students process acorns for consumption. The aim of the assignment is for students to come to appreciate ? via their own experience ? the knowledge, skills, and energy required for acorn production and, more generally, for them to appreciate different modes of food provision than our own. We will be collecting acorns from blue and valley oak. At this point, I am unsure of the location of the stands that will be ripe at end October. However, I would like to visit the Sedgwick Reserve prior to the class fieldtrip (in late September, early October) and determine which stands are likely to be ripe/ affected. Group size will be 13; consequently, our impact in terms of acorns lost will be relatively small. I would also like to reserve the classroom for at least a few hours, perhaps later in the day. At this point, I would also like to tentatively reserve sleeping facilities. However, I won?t know until the school-year starts and I make arrangements with students, whether or not an overnight trip would be feasible.
