Count the trees on the grounds at Shiloh Baptist Church

Shiloh Baptist Church's grounds could shade more of the building and the block, but nobody has counted what's growing there or where a new tree could go. Standard: SDG 11.7 green public space + i-Tree canopy assessment protocol. Proof: tree count + condition note + empty-well count + GPS Method (i-Tree canopy / street-tree inventory, ~30-60 min): 1. Walk the corridor; record a GPS waypoint at each tree. 2. Photograph each surveyed tree. 3. Record species (best estimate), condition class (good/fair/poor/dead), and DBH (diameter at breast height). 4. Count vacant planting sites. 5. Enter the per-tree records, vacant-site count, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign. Equipment: GPS phone, DBH tape or measuring tape, tree ID reference, camera, hi-vis vest Done when: Per-tree species + condition + DBH recorded; Vacant planting sites counted; GPS waypoint per tree; Photo per surveyed tree

Pay

$80 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

tree count + condition note + empty-well count + GPS

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 30–60 minutes. Method of record: i-Tree canopy / street-tree inventory

Bring

• GPS phone
• DBH tape or measuring tape
• tree ID reference
• camera
• hi-vis vest

Steps

1. 1. Walk the corridor; record a GPS waypoint at each tree.
2. 2. Photograph each surveyed tree.
3. 3. Record species (best estimate), condition class (good/fair/poor/dead), and DBH (diameter at breast height).
4. 4. Count vacant planting sites.
5. 5. Enter the per-tree records, vacant-site count, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Dead or hazardous tree observed -> flag for the responsible agency (no removal by surveyor).
• High vacant-site count -> recommend a planting plan for the corridor.

What counts as done

• Per-tree species + condition + DBH recorded
• Vacant planting sites counted
• GPS waypoint per tree
• Photo per surveyed tree

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
