Water the new island tree through its first two summers, island 1, Comanche City Hall, Comanche, TX.

A newly planted parking-island tree at Comanche City Hall has no automated irrigation reaching its curbed box, and a young tree surrounded on every side by heat-radiating pavement dries out far faster than the same species planted in open ground; most island trees this library has seen die in year one or two from thirst, not from the planting itself.

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 of the filled watering basin + mulch-ring confirmation + visit date + GPS matched to the original planting

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.

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the tree is the one recorded at planting by matching the GPS waypoint and species.
2. 2. Fill the watering basin slowly with 15 to 20 gallons so it soaks in rather than runs off the compacted surrounding pavement.
3. 3. Check the mulch ring is still 2 to 3 inches deep and held off the trunk, topping it up if it has thinned.
4. 4. Photograph the watered basin and record the visit date; repeat weekly in the growing season through the tree’s first two summers.

What counts as done

• GPS waypoint matched to the original tree planting record
• Photo of the watering basin filled and soaking in
• Confirmation that the mulch ring is still 2 to 3 inches deep and held off the trunk
• Visit date recorded for the establishment schedule

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.
