Remove invasive plants from the creek bank-top margin, Guadalupe River State Park's public day-use area, site 3

The survey above found invasive plant material crowding the bank-top margin near Guadalupe River State Park's public day-use area; hand removal from the bank top only, staying off the travertine and out of the water, restores native bank cover without disturbing the fragile creek community.

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

park staff approval confirm plus before after photos plus bag removal confirm 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

• Before photo of the invasive-crowded bank margin
• Park staff approval of the removal location recorded
• Confirmation that this job never entered Honey Creek State Natural Area outside a scheduled public guided tour; that it never entered the creek or spring, never touched or disturbed travertine or moss, and never collected any plant, animal, mineral, or water sample from the creek, spring, or river; that any river-adjacent work stayed bank-top only with the current weather and flash-flood forecast checked before starting; and that sturdy footwear, sun protection, and adequate water were carried given Hill Country heat and steep limestone footing.
• Bagged material removed from site confirmed
• After photo of the cleared bank-top margin

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
