Plant desert street trees on a surveyed East Las Vegas block

A surveyed East Las Vegas block with willing property hosts is ready for the real fix: desert-adapted street trees in the empty wells and bare strips the survey mapped. Every tree planted here works harder than almost anywhere in America — shading the hottest, least-shaded blocks in the Mojave's biggest city. Standard: Southern Nevada Water Authority tree list and canopy goals; SDG 11 and SDG 13. Proof: Before/after per tree + species list Method (Southern Nevada Water Authority tree list and canopy goals; SDG 11 and SDG 13.): 1. Confirm host permissions for each planting spot and call 811. 2. Dig wide shallow holes with hand tools. 3. Plant desert-adapted trees from the regional approved list. 4. Basin, mulch, deep-water, and stake each tree. 5. Photograph each tree and record species and count with date and GPS. Done when: Before/after per tree + species list

Pay

$360 proposed

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. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before/after per tree + species list

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.
