Water Weed's recovery plantings through their first dry seasons (2026-08-03)

Every tree and shrub replanted after the Mill Fire faces Weed's bone-dry, windy summer with no irrigation behind it, and unwatered recovery plantings fail at rates that undo whole volunteer seasons. A weekly watering round through the dry months carries the town's replanting through to establishment. Standard: ISA establishment watering practice applied to post-fire replanting; SDG 15 Life on Land. Proof: Photo-logged watering round with count Method (ISA establishment watering practice applied to post-fire replanting; SDG 15 Life on Land.): 1. Take the recovery-planting list and photograph any stressed plants. 2. Deep-water each tree and shrub 10-15 gallons slowly at its basin. 3. Rebuild wind-flattened basins and top up mulch. 4. Flag failures for the replant list. 5. Photograph the watered round and log counts with date. Done when: Photos of watered plantings with GPS and date; Count and gallons per plant; Failure flags noted

Pay

$140 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

Photo-logged watering round with count

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 45–90 minutes. Method of record: USFS BAER soil burn severity + water-repellency assessment

Bring

• water bottle for drop test
• trowel
• clinometer or phone level
• GPS phone
• N95 + boots
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the burn area is open/safe to enter; navigate to a transect; record GPS.
2. 2. Photograph the transect capturing ground cover and ash.
3. 3. Classify soil burn severity (low/moderate/high) at 3 points.
4. 4. Run the water-drop penetration test; record repellency (time for a drop to absorb).
5. 5. Estimate remaining ground-cover percent and slope.
6. 6. Enter severity class, repellency, ground cover, slope, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• High severity + strong repellency on steep slope -> tag high debris-flow/erosion risk; recommend priority treatment.
• Ground cover < 30% -> flag elevated erosion risk.

What counts as done

• Photos of watered plantings with GPS and date
• Count and gallons per plant
• Failure flags noted

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
