Run the weekly watering round for young street trees.

Willowbrook, the unincorporated neighborhood around the Martin Luther King Jr. medical campus, has some of the thinnest street-tree canopy in LA County, and the young trees that do get planted often die in their first two summers for lack of water. A weekly bucket round through their first seasons is the difference between a shaded block in ten years and another dead stake.

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

Wet-basin photos per tree plus run sheet

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. Map the young street trees on the assigned blocks near the medical campus and number them.
2. Give each tree ten to fifteen gallons, poured slowly into the basin so it soaks rather than runs off.
3. Pull weeds from each basin and top up mulch where it has thinned, keeping it off the trunk.
4. Note any broken stakes, snapped branches, or missing trees on the run sheet.
5. Photograph each watered basin wet, plus the run sheet, with date and GPS.

What counts as done

• Photos of at least eight watered basins visibly wet
• Photo of the completed run sheet
• GPS-tagged start and end photos with date

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.
