Plant a native live oak shade tree at the Juanita Hargraves Memorial Branch Library, well 4, Juanita Hargraves Memorial Branch Library, Chambers County Library System (public library), 108 E Fear Rd, Winnie, TX 77665, Chambers County

The public Juanita Hargraves Memorial Branch Library grounds have bare, unshaded ground near the entrance and walkways against Gulf Coast Texas summer heat, and a right sized native live oak, the same species that names the chenier ridge itself, closes that gap.

$340 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

GPS waypoint plus before after photos of root flare at grade plus mulch and watering basin confirm plus species and staking record

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

• 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

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.
