Plant a desert shade tree with a mulched watering basin on Bartlett Ave, site 3 -- Bartlett Ave corridor near Rancho Rd, Adelanto, CA 92301 (2026-07-24)

This stretch of Bartlett Ave carries almost no street-tree canopy, leaving pedestrians with zero shade relief on a sidewalk that can hit dangerous surface temperatures on a 110F Mojave summer day. Standard: SDG 11.7 green public space + i-Tree canopy assessment protocol. Proof: GPS waypoint + before/after photos + species/basin record + watering-in confirm Method (SDG 11.7 green public space + i-Tree canopy assessment protocol.): 1. 1. Photograph the bare, unshaded sidewalk site before digging; confirm no marked/suspected utility conflict. 2. 2. Dig a planting pit sized to the root ball at ground level and set a drought/heat-tolerant desert-appropriate shade species (e.g. desert willow, honey mesquite, Chinese pistache) at correct depth. 3. 3. Backfill, water in thoroughly, and form a mulched watering basin 2-3 inches deep held off the trunk. 4. 4. Photograph the finished planting from the matching before vantage and record species + basin dimensions. Done when: GPS waypoint + before/after photos + species/basin record + watering-in confirm

$130 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.
