Plant trees on the grounds of Rainier Avenue Community Church

The church's parking-lot edge and lawn sit bare of canopy in a neighborhood that needs the shade every summer more than the last; planting native trees on the grounds is a real, lasting gift back to the block. Standard: undefined Proof: before/after photos per tree + species/count log + GPS Method (undefined): 1. Walk the grounds with the facilities contact and flag planting spots clear of utilities and building foundations; photograph each spot before. 2. Confirm any utility locate before digging. 3. Dig a planting hole matching the root ball, set a PNW-appropriate shade tree at correct depth, and backfill. 4. Stake if needed, form a watering basin, and deep-water the new tree. Done when: before/after photos per tree + species/count log + GPS

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.
