No easy way. :-( Maybe hire some trustworthy, hard-working,
neighborhood high school students that you could pay by the pound?

You've a great idea there -- by the pound! :-)

Wouldn't want to pay them to pick up the acorns from the Valley Oak (Quercus
lobata) in California. Acorns can be a little over 2 inches long and in a good
year (every third year or so) they can produce about 900-1000 lbs of acorns!
