Water a thirsty young street tree

A bone-dry tree basin, soaked deep on a hot week, before and after.

What this is for: A newly planted street tree that survives a dry spell
What the person actually does: Fill a jug at a public tap and slowly deep-water a young or newly planted street tree during a dry spell, soaking the soil basin. Nothing to buy.; About 15 minutes of real work. Delivers 1 street tree watered.
Proof they have to send (photo or video): No identifiable faces. Photograph the place, items, or result, never a person. If a bystander is in frame, reframe or blur. Never depict anyone who appears vulnerable (e.g. unhoused, distressed, or a child).
Capture a BEFORE photo of the dry soil basin and an AFTER photo from the same angle once it is soaked.
Photograph the tree and basin only; use a public tap and waste no water.

What we tell the person doing it

The doer can ask anything in the app and gets an instant answer from the deed itself. A few they ask most:

What photo proof do you need?: Send photo or video of the result. Rules: No identifiable faces. Photograph the place, items, or result, never a person. If a bystander is in frame, reframe or blur. Never depict anyone who appears vulnerable (e.g. unhoused, distressed, or a child). Capture a BEFORE photo of the dry soil basin and an AFTER photo from the same angle once it is soaked. Photograph the tree and basin only; use a public tap and waste no water.
How much do I get paid?: This deed pays $9 for your time (a fair ~$18/hr for about 30 minutes including travel and proof), and $0 is set aside for any supplies plus fees. Payment releases from escrow once your proof passes review.
Do I need to keep people out of frame?: No identifiable people, ever. Photograph the place, the items, or the result. If someone is in frame, reframe or blur before you send it.
