Run the weekly watering round for new trees in City Heights (2026-07-20)
New street trees in City Heights die in their first summers without water — the neighborhood's renters can't be assumed to adopt city trees, and the heat is unforgiving. A paid weekly watering round is the difference between a planted list and a living canopy. Standard: Arbor Day Foundation young tree establishment care — SDG 11. Proof: Per-tree watering photos weekly Method (Arbor Day Foundation young tree establishment care — SDG 11.): 1. Follow the route list of young trees each week. 2. Deliver 10–15 gallons per tree, poured slowly into the basin. 3. Weed the basin and note any damaged or leaning trees for follow-up. 4. Photograph each watered tree with GPS and date. Done when: Per-tree watering photos weekly
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. Walk the corridor; record a GPS waypoint at each tree.
- 2. Photograph each surveyed tree.
- 3. Record species (best estimate), condition class (good/fair/poor/dead), and DBH (diameter at breast height).
- 4. Count vacant planting sites.
- 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
