Clear and seed a vacant lot into a pocket green space, Duxberry Ave, Linden

A long-vacant lot on Duxberry Ave sits as bare dirt and blowing trash between the houses; clearing and seeding it turns a blight spot into shade-in-waiting. Standard: SDG 11.7 green public space + i-Tree canopy assessment protocol. Proof: Before photo of the debris-strewn lot + Cleared + seeded photos + Germination follow-up photo at 3-4 weeks Method (SDG 11.7 green public space + i-Tree canopy assessment protocol.): 1. Photograph the lot as found and clear all debris/trash to the correct disposal streams. 2. Rake and lightly till the bare soil surface only (shallow work, no deep digging). 3. Broadcast a low-maintenance native grass/wildflower seed mix at the recommended rate. 4. Water in and photograph the seeded lot; return to photograph germination at 3-4 weeks. Done when: Before photo of the debris-strewn lot + Cleared + seeded photos + Germination follow-up photo at 3-4 weeks

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.
