Four free days in Santo Pietro Forest to collect, germinate and plant new oak trees.
The experience
Acorn Festival in Caltagirone.
Four Sundays in September for a practical relationship with Santo Pietro Forest: collecting acorns, choosing those that germinate and planting new oak trees in land affected by fires.
A participatory cycle connected to Adopt an Oak: on the first and third Sundays we collect and select acorns; on the second and fourth we select germinated acorns, place them in biodegradable PLA germinators and plant them in fire-affected land.
