The Acorn E-News: October 2026

Check out the October edition of The Acorn e-newsletter for volunteer opportunities, upcoming events, and updates from NICHES.

We're looking for Jack-O'-Lanterns!

Each year, carved pumpkins line the woodland trail at Clegg during the Jack-O'-Lantern Hike, creating a one-of-a-kind nighttime adventure for families and nature lovers. The event is entirely powered by community creativity, and the more pumpkins we receive, the more spectacular the hike becomes.

Whether you're an experienced Pumpkin Picasso, a Gourd van Gogh, or simply looking for a fun family activity, we'd love to have your help. Individuals, families, scout troops, classrooms, clubs, workplaces, and community groups are all encouraged to participate. Every carved pumpkin helps create a memorable experience while supporting local land conservation. Each individual who carves a pumpkin will receive free admission to the event.
