Plant a native live-oak shade tree at Kimble County River Park, site 1, Kimble County River Park corridor along TX-481, Junction, TX 76849 (public county park) (2026-07-24)

This open section of Kimble County River Park along the South Llano River carries almost no canopy, leaving picnickers with no shade relief through the Hill Country's long summer heat. Standard: SDG 11.7 green public space + i-Tree canopy assessment protocol, applied here to shade relief across the Edwards Plateau's Hill Country savanna towns. Proof: GPS waypoint + before/after photos of root flare at grade + mulch/watering-basin confirm + species record Method (i-Tree canopy / street-tree inventory, ~30-60 min): 1. Walk the corridor; record a GPS waypoint at each tree. 2. Photograph each surveyed tree. 3. Record species (best estimate), condition class (good/fair/poor/dead), and DBH (diameter at breast height). 4. Count vacant planting sites. 5. Enter the per-tree records, vacant-site count, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign. Equipment: GPS phone, DBH tape or measuring tape, tree ID reference, camera, hi-vis vest Done when: Per-tree species + condition + DBH recorded; Vacant planting sites counted; GPS waypoint per tree; Photo per surveyed tree

Pay

$150 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.

Proof

GPS waypoint + before/after photos of root flare at grade + mulch/watering-basin confirm + species record

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

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.
