Plant a shade tree at the Tivoli school campus, well 3, the public elementary school campus in Tivoli, TX 77990, Refugio County (public school district campus) (2026-07-31)

The public elementary school campus in Tivoli has bare, unshaded ground near the drop off and play areas in a Gulf Coast Refugio County community with a long hot season, and a right sized native shade tree closes that gap. Standard: i-Tree canopy protocol; SDG 11.7, applied here to the public elementary school campus shade canopy in Tivoli, TX, Refugio County. Proof: GPS waypoint plus before after photos of root flare at grade plus mulch and watering basin confirm plus species and staking record Reference method for the urban_canopy standard (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: GPS waypoint recorded inside the posting radius on utility cleared ground; Before and after photos showing the root flare visible at grade; Mulch applied 2 to 3 inches deep and held off the trunk, with a watering basin formed and watered in; Species and any staking (with a removal date) recorded in the proof

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.
