Hey There, I appreciate your care for the critters... you're right Humans are destroying their lives and therefore our own at the same time.
There are plenty of places where there are hundreds of pounds of acorns and hardly a critter about. In fact the lawns in these public parks/gardens are [usually] regularly mowed and all the acorns discarded wherever those clippings go. I'm writing from NZ and the only wild animals likely to want these acorns are possums [a pest in NZ] and maybe the odd hedgehog (I don't even know if they eat acorns). These parks are in the middle of the city or by a rugby field or a children's playground in a rural township. I'll collect some when, I beat the mowers, guilt free, but I'll certainly consider the critters in wilder places. Thank you.
