How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 120–300 minutes. Method of record: SDG 15 restoration leadership — plan, supervise, and record a multi-person restoration so the outcome survives the crew leaving

Bring

• site plan
• species list + counts
• hand tools for the crew
• water source
• first-aid kit
• camera + phone with GPS
• sign-in sheet

Steps

1. Photograph the site BEFORE with GPS on and a legible timestamp; confirm you are inside the posting radius.
2. 2. Brief the crew: task, boundaries, hazards, and the stop conditions. Record attendance.
3. 3. Confirm utility locate is complete before any digging is assigned.
4. 4. Assign work in defined zones so coverage is provable rather than assumed.
5. 5. Supervise technique on the first few units of each task; correct before it is repeated a hundred times.
6. 6. Record species, counts, and locations as the work proceeds, not from memory afterwards.
7. 7. Water in and mulch before the crew leaves; unwatered planting is unfinished planting.
8. 8. Photograph AFTER and record the maintenance handoff: who waters, and when.

If it does not match the plan

• Utility locate not complete -> no digging is assigned, full stop.
• A volunteer is working unsafely -> stop that task immediately and re-brief.
• Heat index or weather turns hazardous -> stop; document partial completion.
• Species on the list is unavailable -> substitute only with a documented native equivalent, and record the substitution.
• No maintenance owner identified -> the restoration is not complete; record the gap.

What counts as done

• Crew sign-in recorded
• Utility locate confirmed before any digging
• Species, counts, and zone locations recorded during the work
• Everything watered and mulched before the crew left
• A named maintenance owner and schedule in the record
• Before and after photos from the same position, GPS inside the posting radius, timestamps legible

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
