Plant a shade tree beside an unshaded Lynwood bus stop on Long Beach Boulevard.

Riders on Long Beach Boulevard in Lynwood wait in full sun at stops with no shelter and no shade, in a corridor that heat maps show running several degrees hotter than greener parts of the county. A correctly planted parkway tree beside a stop is permanent shade for every future rider.

Pay

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

Planted-tree photos with stop in frame

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. Confirm the approved parkway planting spot and species with the city or host program, and have utilities marked before any digging.
2. Dig the planting hole twice the root-ball width and exactly root-ball deep.
3. Set the tree straight, backfill with native soil, and build a watering basin.
4. Stake loosely, water in with fifteen gallons, and mulch the basin clear of the trunk.
5. Photograph the planted tree from two angles with the stop in frame, date, and GPS.

What counts as done

• Photo of the marked, approved planting spot before digging
• Photo of the set tree with basin and stake
• GPS-tagged photo of the watered tree with the bus stop in frame and date

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.
