Plant a native post oak or blackjack oak shade tree at Brenham High School, site 1, Brenham High School (Brenham Independent School District), 525 A H Ehrig Dr, Brenham, TX 77833 (2026-07-27)

The campus walkways carry almost no canopy, leaving students with no shade relief walking between buildings through the Post Oak Savanna's hot, humid East Central Texas summer. Standard: SDG 11.7 green public space and i Tree canopy assessment protocol, applied here to shade relief across Brenham's Post Oak Savanna under hot, humid East Central Texas summers. Proof: GPS waypoint + before/after photos of root flare at grade + mulch/watering-basin confirm + species record Method (SDG 11.7 green public space and i Tree canopy assessment protocol, applied here to shade relief across Brenham's Post Oak Savanna under hot, humid East Central Texas summers.): 1. 1. Confirm the tree pit location with district facilities staff and honor an 811 utility locate before any digging; photograph the bare or under-canopied site before planting. 2. 2. Dig a wide, shallow planting hole matched to the root ball, keeping the root flare level with or slightly above surrounding grade. 3. 3. Plant a native post oak or blackjack oak, backfill with native soil, and form a watering basin. 4. 4. Mulch 2 to 3 inches deep held off the trunk, water in thoroughly, and photograph the finished planting from the matching before vantage, recording species. Done when: GPS waypoint + before/after photos of root flare at grade + mulch/watering-basin confirm + species record

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.
