Walk the wetland boardwalk and check its health near the creekside trail in Green River, WY, and track it over time (2026-07-10)

the creekside trail in Green River, WY (trend tracking) has never had its wetland health checked checked by anyone here. Do a simple, honest check now, and come back on schedule so the people who use this place can see if it's improving. Standard: EPA NWCA rapid method; SDG 6.6/15.1 Proof: quadrat photos + GPS + native/invasive cover + hydrology note Method (EPA National Wetland Condition Assessment (rapid method), ~45-90 min): 1. Navigate to the wetland edge; record GPS; stay on stable ground. 2. Photograph 3 quadrat stations. 3. At each station, estimate percent cover native vs invasive; identify the dominant invasive. 4. Note hydrology / water level and any disturbance. 5. Enter cover percentages, invasive ID, hydrology, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign. Equipment: GPS phone, quadrat frame, invasive-species ID reference, boots, insect protection, camera Done when: Percent cover native vs invasive recorded at 3 stations; Dominant invasive species identified; Hydrology / water-level note recorded; GPS waypoints + quadrat photos

$80 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. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

quadrat photos + GPS + native/invasive cover + hydrology note

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. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: EPA National Wetland Condition Assessment (rapid method)

Bring

• GPS phone
• quadrat frame
• invasive-species ID reference
• boots
• insect protection
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the wetland edge; record GPS; stay on stable ground.
2. 2. Photograph 3 quadrat stations.
3. 3. At each station, estimate percent cover native vs invasive; identify the dominant invasive.
4. 4. Note hydrology / water level and any disturbance.
5. 5. Enter cover percentages, invasive ID, hydrology, GPS, photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Standing water + wildlife (snakes/alligators) -> maintain distance; never sample alone.
• High invasive cover -> flag for a management/removal plan.

What counts as done

• Percent cover native vs invasive recorded at 3 stations
• Dominant invasive species identified
• Hydrology / water-level note recorded
• GPS waypoints + quadrat photos

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
