All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Post a no-mow buffer sign on the Highway 35 right of way near Goose Island State Park for the fall monarch passage. Milkweed or nectar plants growing along the mowed road right of way near Goose Island State Park are at risk of being cut down by routine maintenance mowing during the exact weeks of the fall monarch passage, destroying the habitat just when the migration needs it most.
Offer to pay $110. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Only workers with the agency's sign permit and 811 clearance may place signs. Never touch, net, tag or collect monarchs or apply pesticide or herbicide; wear high visibility clothing, stay out of the traffic lane, work in cool hours with water and shade breaks.
The full safety list for this job:
- No monarch or any butterfly is ever handled, netted, tagged, or collected at any skill level in this work; a monarch or butterfly encountered during this work is observed and photographed from where it naturally is, never touched, netted, or captured.
- Butterfly tagging is a separate, trained, permitted program and is not part of this job.
- No pesticide or herbicide of any kind is applied at any skill level in this work; spraying is the single most common way to destroy monarch habitat, and this job's entire purpose is habitat, so no chemical control of any plant or insect is ever part of it.
- No precise location of a monarch roost tree or roosting cluster is ever recorded, photographed with identifying detail, or published from this work; if migrating monarchs are seen roosting overnight in trees at the site, the record notes only the general public park, never the specific tree or grove, for the same reason this library never publishes a nest, den, or rare-plant location.
- This work sites to a road right of way or field margin near vehicle traffic; wear high visibility clothing at all times, never step into an active traffic lane, and prefer a set back location off the road shoulder whenever the work allows it.
- Texas heat is severe both in the Blackland Prairie/Cross Timbers interior around Mother Neff State Park and in the humid Gulf Coast around Goose Island State Park; 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.
- Call 811 for a utility locate and obtain the managing highway agency or park's sign-placement permit before driving any stake into the road right of way ground.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Photograph the stretch of milkweed or nectar plants growing along the mowed right of way from the road shoulder or field margin, wearing high visibility clothing, before starting.
- Confirm the migration passage window with the managing agency's published monarch corridor timing, spring for host plants and fall for nectar, and set the sign dates to bracket that window.
- Call 811 to confirm utility-locate clearance and obtain the managing highway agency or park's sign-placement permit for the stake locations before any stake enters the ground.
- Install a temporary, weatherproof no-mow buffer sign at each end of the stretch, staked from the shoulder without stepping into the traffic lane and within the permitted location, marking the dates the buffer applies.
- Photograph the installed signage and the protected stretch, and record the buffer's length and the bracketed date range.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the plant stretch along the right of way
- Bracketed no-mow date range recorded against the confirmed passage window
- Confirmation that high visibility clothing was worn throughout and that no work was performed inside an active traffic lane.
- Confirmation that no monarch or any butterfly was handled, netted, tagged, or collected at any point in this work; that no pesticide or herbicide was applied at any point; and that no precise location of a monarch roost tree or roosting cluster was recorded or published, with the record naming only the general public park vicinity.
- After photo of the installed signage and protected stretch
- Confirmation that an 811 utility locate was completed and the managing highway agency or park's sign-placement permit was obtained before any stake entered the right of way ground.
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not
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.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
