Run the weekly watering round for young street trees.

Kashmere Gardens is one of Houston's hottest, least-shaded neighborhoods, and young trees planted along its streets die in their first two summers without steady water. A weekly watering round through the brutal months is the difference between a stick that fails and a canopy that cools the block for fifty years. Anyone with buckets or a hose cart can keep these trees alive.

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

Proof

GPS-tagged photo of every watered tree, 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.

Steps

1. Walk the assigned blocks and identify every young street tree (trunk thinner than your wrist).
2. Give each tree 10 to 15 gallons of water slowly at the root zone, using buckets, jugs, or a hose.
3. Pull weeds and trash from each tree's mulch ring and top up mulch where soil is bare, keeping mulch off the trunk.
4. Note any tree that is broken, girdled, or dying on a simple tally sheet.
5. Photograph each watered tree with GPS and date to close the round.

What counts as done

• Photo of each tree with water visibly applied, GPS and date
• Tally sheet photo listing tree count and condition notes
• One wide shot of the block walked

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.
