Repair a damaged boardwalk section at Beddagana Wetland Park

Following the condition survey, this step repairs a specific damaged plank or handrail section flagged on the boardwalk, keeping the park's public access safe while protecting the wetland below from foot traffic off the marked path. Standard: Ramsar Convention wetland-of-international-importance monitoring guidance + SDG 15.1. Proof: Photo of the finished, stable boardwalk repair Method (Ramsar Convention wetland-of-international-importance monitoring guidance + SDG 15.1.): 1. Confirm the specific damaged section noted in the condition survey. 2. Gather replacement boards, fasteners, and hand tools needed for the repair. 3. Secure or replace the damaged plank or handrail section from the boardwalk itself. 4. Check the repaired section for stability by hand before use. 5. Photograph the finished repair with GPS and date as proof. Done when: Photo of the finished, stable boardwalk repair

Pay

$280 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.

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.
