Restore the street tree pits along Montana Street.

Street trees along Montana Street in uptown Butte's historic district sit in compacted, weed-choked pits that starve the roots even though the trees are among the only shade on this block. Restoring the pits protects the canopy this historic corridor already has.

Pay

$170 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

Photo of the finished tree pit plus GPS tag.

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. Clear trash, compacted soil, and weeds out of the tree pit down to the root flare.
2. Loosen the top few inches of soil by hand without cutting visible roots.
3. Add a layer of compost worked lightly into the loosened soil.
4. Spread mulch in a ring 2 to 3 inches deep, keeping it off the trunk.
5. Water the tree in and photograph the finished pit.

What counts as done

• photo
• GPS tag
• written log

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.
