This afternoon, foresters with the US Forest Service are on site at HCC collecting as many acorns as possible. There goal would be to leave with 2,000 lbs. These acorns are shipped to the eastern part of the state where they are grown into trees and then used in reforestation projects. That's pretty neat to think that Highlands CC trees are being used to replenish Oak species in other parts of the country. They have a variety of tools at their fingertips, from air compressors to large vacuums to what looks like a golf ball picker to harvest acorns off the ground!
