Document a tree-equity canopy gap near William Blair Jr. Park, site 4, William Blair Jr. Park (long known as Rochester Park), 3000 Rochester St, Dallas, TX 75215 (2026-07-28)

A public-street segment near this park in Bonton carries almost no canopy, and no photo record exists ranking it for the tree-equity priority planting Dallas's thin south-side canopy needs. Standard: SDG 11.7 green public space and i-Tree canopy assessment protocol, applied here to tree-equity canopy gaps and severe heat-island exposure in South Dallas's Joppa and Bonton neighborhoods. Proof: document-only stand-off photo log + sun-exposure note + GPS + ranked follow-on note Method (SDG 11.7 green public space and i-Tree canopy assessment protocol, applied here to tree-equity canopy gaps and severe heat-island exposure in South Dallas's Joppa and Bonton neighborhoods.): 1. 1. Walk the park's street frontage and photograph a bare, sun-exposed public-street segment with no shade tree, without leaving the public sidewalk or park lawn. 2. 2. Note the approximate distance to the nearest existing shade tree and the segment's sun exposure at midday. 3. 3. Photograph the nearest cross street or park entrance for the crew's reference. 4. 4. Record a ranked follow-on note naming the gap for the tree-equity planting crew. Done when: document-only stand-off photo log + sun-exposure note + GPS + ranked follow-on note

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.
