Abstract
An Oak Tree Planting Project was conducted during 1989/90 in San Luis Obispo County by the Integrated Hardwood Range Management Program (IHRMP)/Central Coast. The local media and an IHRMP workshop were used to publicize the Planting Project and give information on the status of oaks (
Quercus spp.) in California and oak planting techniques. Outreach efforts resulted in participation in the Oak Tree Planting Project by homeowners and ranchers as well as by 4-H, environmental, school, community, and homeowner-association groups: over 3,500 acorns were planted at about 1,200 sites (three acorns per site). The Oak Tree Planting Project provided a good opportunity for community awareness and involvement in helping ensure that oak trees will be around for future Californians to enjoy.
