Mighty Acorn Society

Ready to Make a Difference?  Become a Founding Member of the Mighty Acorn Society!

Oak trees are the single most important species for our local ecosystems. To rejuvenate this vital resource, Monarch Research is launching the Mighty Acorn Society—an exclusive group of community-minded, action-oriented individuals committed to restoring our native oak canopy.

Joining the Mighty Acorn Society as a Founding Member is limited to the first 250 people who sign up. No prior experience or special tools are needed—just a one-time $5 fee. Our goal is to plant 1,000 trees this June, and we need your help to make it happen!

Why Join?

· Small Cost, Big Impact: For just $5, you’ll get all the materials, training, and expert guidance you need to grow and plant new trees, year after year.

· Free Supplies: Receive air-pruning pots, potting soil, a stainless-steel drip tray, deer protection, and your choice of four Iowa-native oak acorns.

· Hands-On Experience: Nurture your trees on a sunny windowsill as the snow melts, then plant them outside in June—at home, in a park, or at our new oak savanna.

· Fun for the Whole Family: Experience the wonder of nature as your tiny sprouts transform into mighty oaks—a magical experience for kids and adults alike!

· Community: Join a passionate group of people working together to restore Iowa’s native ecosystems and enrich our local community.
