Plant a windbreak tree at the Rufisque coastal edge (2026-07-20)

The coastal edge at Rufisque takes the full force of salt wind off the Atlantic with almost no tree cover to break it, adding to both erosion and daily discomfort for residents. A single windbreak tree, planted well back from the eroding edge, starts building that protection. Standard: FAO urban forestry guidance; SDG 15.2 Proof: photo of planted tree with species/date Method (FAO urban forestry guidance; SDG 15.2): 1. Confirm the planting spot on stable ground with a community host. 2. Dig a planting hole sized to the sapling's root ball. 3. Set the sapling and backfill with native soil. 4. Water the sapling thoroughly and mulch the base. 5. Photograph the planted tree and log the species and date. Done when: photo of planted tree with species/date

$160 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.
