Document a wild Engelmann daisy (Engelmannia peristenia) stand.

A stand of Engelmann daisy (Engelmannia peristenia) in the Edwards Plateau grassland at Government Canyon State Natural Area has no recent population-size or provenance record, so no one can responsibly recommend it for permitted hand seed collection to supply Hill Country local-ecotype restoration plantings.

Offer to pay $85. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like

A worker walks the approved trail and photographs a wild native plant stand from a distance at Government Canyon State Natural Area, then records its size and condition without collecting anything.

A description of this kind of work, not a record that it happened here.

Where

Government Canyon State Natural Area, 12861 Galm Rd, San Antonio, TX 78254 (Bexar County; a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department public state natural area, confirm seed collection permission with park staff before any collecting). Open the map

Pay

$85 proposed

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. 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: recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

document only stand condition photo log plus population and rarity assessment plus ecoregion note plus GPS plus ranked follow on note

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

Collection from a wild stand, or sourcing material for an increase plot, never begins without permission obtained first, every time: on public land (a state park or state natural area) this means confirming with the managing agency (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department) that seed collection is permitted in the specific area and, where required, holding a written collection permit before any seed is touched; on private land it means the landowner's written consent. A park, a wildlife management area, and a road right of way each have different permission rules, and the specific rule for this exact site is confirmed with the managing agency before collecting, every time. If the wild stand is small, or the species is rare, threatened, or of conservation concern, the answer is always document only, never collect, at any skill level. This is an absolute rule with no judgment call left to the person on site: when in doubt, do not collect, and record the stand as document only instead. No more than one in five (20 percent) of the ripe, available seed on any wild stand is ever collected in a season, leaving the plant population's own regeneration fully intact; the estimated total available seed and the fraction actually taken are both recorded in the proof record for every collection. The precise coordinate or description of a specific collected wild stand is never published or recorded in any record from this work; every def sites to the general public park or natural area, never a named individual plant, patch, or grove, for the same reason this library never publishes a nest, den, or rare-plant location. The ecoregion and general site of origin of every collected seed lot is recorded at the moment of collection and travels with that lot, on its label, through cleaning, increase, and storage; collected seed is never moved outside the ecoregion it came from at any stage, because local adaptation only works if the seed stays local. Nothing is ever collected unless it is confidently identified to species in the field, using a plant identification guide or app cross checked against the observed plant; nothing on a state or federal list of rare, threatened, or endangered species is ever collected at any skill level, regardless of how common or healthy the stand appears. Ticks, chiggers, fire ants, venomous snakes (including copperheads and rattlesnakes), and thorny native species (including greenbrier and prairie rose) are present in Texas grassland and woodland edge habitat; wear long pants tucked into boots or socks, closed toe shoes, and eye protection when working close to brush, check for ticks after fieldwork, and give any snake a wide path rather than approaching it. Texas summer field heat is severe, with high humidity on the Blackland Prairie and intense open-grassland sun on the Edwards Plateau; work only in early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat, carry more water than you think you need, wear sun protection and light colored breathable clothing, and take frequent shade breaks.

Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.

Open, but not claimable yet. restricted: permit-required. Regulated or permit-required work cannot be claimed on this rail yet. It stays readable; voting and pledging are free, and funding is separate from claiming.

An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.

Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.

Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
