Clear invasive plant material washed onto the wetland's dry bank (2026-07-19)

Invasive plant material regularly washes up and takes root on the dry bank at the Nakivubo wetland's edge, crowding out the native species that filter runoff best. Clearing it by hand from dry ground keeps the native edge healthier. Standard: Ramsar Convention wetland wise-use guidance; SDG 6.6/15.1 Proof: before/after photo of cleared bank Method (Ramsar Convention wetland wise-use guidance; SDG 6.6/15.1): 1. Confirm the target stretch of dry bank. 2. Put on gloves before handling any vegetation. 3. Clear invasive plant material from the dry bank by hand. 4. Bag or stack the cleared material away from the water's edge. 5. Photograph the cleared stretch and log the date. Done when: before/after photo of cleared bank

$160 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.

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.
