What are people gathering on Persimmon Tree Road in Bethesda?

OP here and I solved this mystery if anybody still cares. They are gathering black walnuts. I had no idea black walnuts shed a green husk before looking like actual nuts. I remembered this thread but I can't believe it's 7 years old. I've spent way too much time here.
