Keep a roster of young north Flint trees alive through establishment.

Getting a young tree through its first three years takes more than water: mulch, formative pruning of small dead wood, stake removal at the right time, and someone who notices problems early. North Flint's replanted blocks need a steady establishment caretaker, not just planters.

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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Per-tree care log plus dated photos each visit

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Adopt a roster of 10 to 15 young trees from recent plantings on public strips and host-invited yards.
2. Each visit: deep-water, restore the mulch ring, and remove weeds and grass from the ring by hand.
3. Remove stakes and ties from trees planted more than a year ago that stand on their own.
4. Prune only small dead or broken twigs reachable from the ground with hand pruners.
5. Keep a per-tree care log across visits.
6. Photograph each tree cared for and record the log with GPS and date on.

What counts as done

• Care log covering the full roster
• GPS-and-date-stamped photos of at least eight cared-for trees
• Photo of a stake-and-tie removal
• Photo of ground-level pruning done with hand pruners

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Tree Planting and Establishment. Planting a tree properly is a codified craft, and the arborists' standards are blunt about why: most young trees that die were killed at planting, by a hole dug too deep, a root ball left bound, a first summer without water. Mastery looks like trees you planted years ago still standing, which is the only measure arborists accept. The craft lives in exactly the steps this packet asks for: the wide shallow hole, the freed roots, the mulch kept off the trunk, the watering that follows. Plant one tree correctly and you know something real.
