You can stratify them in the refrigerator. Spread the seeds on a layer of damp paper towels or coffee filters. You can also layer the towels or filters to save room. Label each layer with a permanent marker. Fold them up loosely and stick inside of a baggie or open zip lock bag. Let them sit in the fridge for 3 weeks. Make sure the towels or filters don't dry out. After 3 weeks, surface sow on your seedling/germination mix and use a clear plastic dome over the pots until the seeds sprout. Because they're surface-sown, the seeds will need moisture surrounding them. The easy ones should germinate in about 10 days.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money. Cree proverb
