Why this project matters

Funding approach

Sponsorship is linked to clear planting phases and public budget categories.

Verification approach

Project progress is separated into funded, planted and verified-alive stages.

Community approach

Participation is tracked independently, so turnout is never mixed into tree totals.

Environmental context

Bukhara’s exposed public routes can become severe heat corridors in summer. This project focuses on durable canopy species and phased planting where water access is manageable.

Maintenance plan

Phased watering aligned to corridor segments

Monthly inspection during the first hot season

Guard replacement and soil correction where trampling risk is high
