Plant fog-adapted native shrubs along a Villa El Salvador street

Villa El Salvador's coastal desert edge gets almost no rain but does get regular fog off the Pacific, and native fog-adapted plants can establish here where thirstier species fail outright. Planting a street strip with these species starts building shade and greenery in a district that is otherwise nearly treeless. This is entry-level planting work in the public right-of-way. Standard: FAO urban forestry guidance; SDG 15 (Life on Land) Proof: Photo of the planted street strip Method (FAO urban forestry guidance; SDG 15 (Life on Land)): 1. Confirm the planting strip is public right-of-way clear of buried lines. 2. Dig planting holes by hand at proper spacing. 3. Set each fog-adapted native plant at its nursery depth. 4. Backfill and water each plant in thoroughly. 5. Photograph the planted strip and record the planting date. Done when: Photo of the planted street strip

Pay

$180 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.
