Map the empty tree wells and canopy gaps, the 500 block of Gift St, Franklinton

Empty tree wells on the 500 block of Gift St, Franklinton are lost shade nobody is tracking. A one-pass map of every empty, stumped or dying well turns "the street feels hot" into a plantable list the city and neighbors can fund. Standard: SDG 11.7 green public space + i-Tree canopy assessment protocol. Proof: Geotagged photo of every well on the block + Compiled well inventory (status, clearance, wires) + City planting-request submission reference Method (SDG 11.7 green public space + i-Tree canopy assessment protocol.): 1. Walk both sides of the block and photograph every tree well: occupied/healthy, struggling, stump, or empty. 2. Record each well's GPS point, sidewalk-clearance width, and overhead-wire situation. 3. Compile the plantable list (empty + stump wells with adequate clearance) with photos. 4. Submit the list to the city street-tree request channel and log the request reference. Done when: Geotagged photo of every well on the block + Compiled well inventory (status, clearance, wires) + City planting-request submission reference

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.
