Autumn 2025: Acorn Bonanza Offers Cash and Wildlife Park Entry
Autumn 2025 brings a unique opportunity for nature lovers, especially children and families in cities like London, Berlin, and Amsterdam. This year, nature's bounty includes a bumper crop of acorns, offering a chance to collect and exchange them for pocket money or free entry to wildlife parks.
The upcoming autumn promises a mast year for oaks and beeches, resulting in ten times the usual acorn production. These nuts can be collected and stored for several months if dried and kept in a cool, dry place. Only ripe, healthy acorns should be chosen for long-term storage. To prepare acorns, soak them in water for several days, changing the water frequently, or cook them.
Some wildlife parks are encouraging acorn collection. They benefit from the abundance of acorns, chestnuts, and nuts as valuable winter food for animals. To avoid mold growth, avoid using plastic for storage.
In 2025, collecting and preparing acorns not only saves money but also supports local wildlife. However, the popular Haribo chestnut action has been cancelled due to African swine fever (ASF) concerns. So, while enjoying nature's bounty, be mindful of safety and the environment.
