Field notes
The project lays out a first-phase sequence from gathering acorns in Ofunato to growing them locally and in households nationwide. The site describes seven local planter locations and a target of 300 home growers, each receiving three acorns. It also presents a “seedling passport” intended to keep the gatherer, grower, and planter connected; planting and later monitoring are described as future stages.
