Run the weekly watering round for new south Merced school-block trees (2026-07-20)

Newly planted trees at the south Merced school block need consistent deep watering through their first two summers to survive the valley heat. Standard: U.S. Forest Service urban tree canopy equity mapping + SDG 13 Climate Action Proof: Dated photo of each watered tree on the round Method (U.S. Forest Service urban tree canopy equity mapping + SDG 13 Climate Action): 1. Confirm which trees on the round need water this week. 2. Deep-water each tree at the base, not the leaves. 3. Check the mulch ring and refresh it if thin. 4. Photograph each tree with GPS and date. Done when: Dated photo of each watered tree on the round

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.
