Plant native trees on a gentle greenbelt slope in Comuna 8

Medellín's Comuna 8 sits along the city's documented Cinturón Verde greenbelt corridor, where hillside neighborhoods meet steep terrain prone to erosion. Native tree planting on the corridor's gentle, already-terraced sections builds on that greening tradition while stabilizing soil at the urban-rural edge. This work stays on flat, established terraces, not the steep, unstable slope faces. Standard: FAO urban forestry guidance; SDG 15 (Life on Land) Proof: Photo of the planted, stable terrace Method (FAO urban forestry guidance; SDG 15 (Life on Land)): 1. Confirm the terrace is gentle-grade and stable before starting. 2. Dig a planting hole roughly twice the width of the root ball by hand. 3. Set each native tree at its nursery depth and backfill firmly. 4. Stake young trees and water each one in thoroughly. 5. Photograph the planted terrace and record the planting date.

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.
