Water the International District's young trees through the dry months (2026-07-19)

Albuquerque's tree-planting pushes reach the International District last and lose trees there first — young trees in a 9-inch-rain climate die fast when watering visits stop. A weekly route keeps the district's newest canopy investment alive to independence. Standard: Let's Plant ABQ establishment-care practice; SDG 11. Proof: Photo per tree + route log Method (Let's Plant ABQ establishment-care practice; SDG 11.): 1. Work the young-tree route list with filled water containers. 2. Deep-water each tree 10 to 15 gallons into its basin. 3. Weed basins and check ties and stakes. 4. Flag stressed or missing trees. 5. Photograph each watered tree and file the log with date and GPS. Done when: Photo per tree + route log

Photo per tree + route log

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.
