Plant shade trees beside the bare bus stops on Wasco's main corridors.

Riders in Wasco wait for Kern Transit buses on bare concrete pads in full valley sun, some of the hottest waiting anywhere in the county. A shade tree planted beside each invited stop turns a punishing wait into a bearable one within a few summers. This is permanent public cooling for the price of a tree and a shovel.

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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Per-stop planted-tree photos plus species log with GPS/date

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.

Steps

1. Confirm the approved planting spot beside each stop and call 811 before digging.
2. Dig, plant, and basin a drought-tolerant shade tree with the root flare at grade.
3. Mulch the basin, water deeply, and install a simple trunk guard against string trimmers.
4. Note each tree's species and stop location in the log.
5. Photograph each planted tree with the stop visible and record with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Photo of each planted tree with the bus stop in frame
• Close-up of basin, mulch, and trunk guard
• Written species and stop log
• GPS-tagged completion photo with date

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Urban Canopy. Urban canopy is the layer of leaves over a city, and it is infrastructure as surely as the pipes below the street: shade that cools a block in a heat wave, roots that drink a storm. The i-Tree protocol turns it into something you can count, tree by tree, so a city knows what it has and what it is losing. Mastery looks like a person who can read a whole street's trees at a walk. This packet is a piece of that census: a few trees observed carefully and recorded where the record counts.
