Welcome to the Acorn Fulfillment Project!

We’re on a mission to get folks out and about, soaking up the fresh air and enjoying the beauty of Huntington park trails. Think of it as a fun excuse to stretch your legs, boost your mood, and reconnect with nature—all while hunting for a little treasure.

Inspired by Block Island’s famous Glass Float Project, we’ve put our own twist on the idea: hand-crafted pottery acorns, lovingly made by a talented local potter and her creative students at Long Island Clay. Each acorn has the year crafted, a unique number, and QR code sticker for online registration, and they’re tucked away along our network of Huntington historic trails. In fall 2026, we’ll be placing the first batch of acorns every month at Fuchs Pond Preserve and Henry Ingraham Nature Preserve in Northport—and keeping the tradition going at additional Huntington trails year after year.

Why acorns? Because they’re a perfect symbol of fulfillment. Just like an acorn grows into a mighty oak, regular trail walks can grow into a healthier, happier you.

How it works:

• Acorns are hidden only on marked trails—never more than 5 feet from the path.
• They might be nestled in the crook of a tree or peeking out from a stone wall, but there’s no need to dismantle walls or disturb nature to find one.
• If you stumble upon more than one, you’re encouraged to keep your first and leave (or re-hide) the second so someone else can have their “Aha!” moment too.
• When you find your acorn, scan the QR code to register it, and share your photo and story on our social media—we’d love to celebrate your find!
• An acorn personal registration count will be keep throughout the year for a “find & fitness” recognition at a Town of Huntington event!

Lace up your shoes, follow the trails, and keep your eyes peeled—your little piece of happiness might be hiding just around the bend.
