Plant street trees on the barest blocks of Barrio Logan

Blocks near the working waterfront run several degrees hotter than leafy neighborhoods a mile away, and the diesel corridor makes shade and leaf area a health issue, not a decoration. Planting approved street trees in empty pits and parkways builds the canopy this fenceline neighborhood has been shorted for decades. Standard: City of San Diego street tree permit program and Climate Action Plan canopy goal — SDG 11. Proof: Per-tree planting photos with GPS Method (City of San Diego street tree permit program and Climate Action Plan canopy goal — SDG 11.): 1. Confirm the site's empty pits or parkway strips and the approved species list with the city's free street-tree process before planting. 2. Call 811 utility locate and mark before any digging. 3. Dig each hole twice the root-ball width, set the tree at grade, backfill, and water in thoroughly. 4. Stake loosely, build a watering basin and mulch ring, and photograph each planted tree with GPS and date. Done when: Per-tree planting photos with GPS

$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.
