Run the weekly watering round for young street trees in Barrio Logan (2026-08-03)

Young street trees in this dry, hot corridor die most often from simple lack of water in their first two summers. A weekly round with buckets or a water tote, filling each basin slowly, is the cheapest possible way to keep the new canopy alive. Standard: Arbor Day Foundation young tree establishment care, SDG 11. Proof: Per-tree watering photos weekly Method (Arbor Day Foundation young tree establishment care, SDG 11.): 1. Walk or drive the list of young trees on the route each week. 2. Give each tree 10–15 gallons poured slowly into the basin so it soaks rather than runs off. 3. Pull weeds from the basin and top up mulch where it has thinned. 4. Photograph each watered tree with GPS and date. Done when: Photo of each tree watered with wet basin visible; GPS and date stamps; Count of trees on the round

Pay

$160 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

Per-tree watering photos weekly

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

• Photo of each tree watered with wet basin visible
• GPS and date stamps
• Count of trees on the round

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Urban Canopy. Urban canopy is the layer of leaves over a city, and it is infrastructure as surely as the pipes below the street: shade that cools a block in a heat wave, roots that drink a storm. The i-Tree protocol turns it into something you can count, tree by tree, so a city knows what it has and what it is losing. Mastery looks like a person who can read a whole street's trees at a walk. This packet is a piece of that census: a few trees observed carefully and recorded where the record counts.
