Plant street trees in north Wichita's mapped empty strips

The survey maps where north Wichita's shade should be; planting season needs hands to put it there. Every tree set on these blocks is decades of cooling for a neighborhood that gets Kansas summer at full strength. Standard: City of Wichita street tree planting standards; SDG 15 (Life on Land). Proof: per-tree planting photos with mulch and water visible Method (City of Wichita street tree planting standards; SDG 15 (Life on Land).): 1. Confirm the permitted planting list and locations with the city forestry program and call 811. 2. Dig each hole twice the root ball width and no deeper than the flare. 3. Set each tree straight, backfill, and water deeply. 4. Mulch rings clear of the trunks and stake against the prairie wind. 5. Photograph each planted tree, GPS-tagged and dated. Done when: per-tree planting photos with mulch and water visible

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.
