Repair the observation platform rail and refresh wildlife-safety signage, site 3, the Creekfield Lake Nature Trail paved boardwalk and accessible observation deck, near Brazos Bend State Park headquarters, Needville, TX 77461, Fort Bend County

The survey above found worn rail, decking, or a braided informal path at this wildlife-observation platform, and a TPWD-coordinated repair plus refreshed stay-back signage is the concrete step that keeps visitors on the maintained surface, away from the water's edge where alligators are.

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

TPWD coordination confirm plus before after photos plus repair and signage record plus GPS

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 45–120 minutes. Method of record: Point-count / transect species survey (Breeding Bird Survey + Xerces pollinator-count protocols)

Bring

• binoculars
• field ID guide or app
• GPS phone
• data sheet / recorder
• timer
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the first survey point; record GPS; note start time, weather, and wind (surveys pause in rain/high wind).
2. 2. Wait a settling minute, then run a fixed-duration count (e.g., 5 min) within a fixed radius; record every species seen/heard and the count of each.
3. 3. Photograph the habitat and any species you can; note any threatened/target or invasive species.
4. 4. Move to the next point along the transect (keep points >=200 m apart) and repeat the count.
5. 5. Record total effort (points, duration) and observer.
6. 6. Enter the per-point species lists + counts, GPS, weather, effort, and photos into the proof record; sign.

If it does not match the plan

• Threatened/at-risk or target species observed -> flag for the land steward (with location) for protection planning.
• Invasive species dominant / native diversity very low -> flag for a management plan.
• Rain or high wind -> pause/reschedule; counts under poor conditions are not valid.

What counts as done

• Confirmation the site and repair plan were coordinated with Brazos Bend State Park staff
• Before photo of the worn rail, decking, or informal path
• Confirmation work stayed on the platform, boardwalk, or trail structure and its immediate maintained margin, never at the water's edge or on the bank below
• Confirmation no alligator or other wildlife was approached, fed, or baited
• Repair material and signage installed recorded
• After photo of the finished repair and signage from the matching vantage

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
