Plant approved parkway trees on surveyed blocks in Athens

The Athens neighborhood beside Westmont shares the same bare, hot parkways, and surveyed plantable spots are ready for trees. Each correctly planted and staked parkway tree here is decades of future shade over sidewalks that children walk to school in ninety-degree heat. Standard: County road parkway planting permit practice and ISA planting standards; SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities). Proof: Per-tree planting photos with basin and stake Method (County road parkway planting permit practice and ISA planting standards; SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities).): 1. Confirm the approved species and spots from the survey list and have utility locations marked before digging. 2. Dig each hole twice the root-ball width and exactly root-ball deep. 3. Set each tree straight, backfill with native soil, and form a watering basin. 4. Stake loosely, water in with fifteen gallons per tree, and mulch clear of the trunk. 5. Photograph each planted tree from two angles with date and GPS. Done when: Per-tree planting photos with basin and stake

$340 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.

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.
