Mark off a no-mow zone so the old grass.

The survey above found grass and groundcover in the oldest section near the Waters St frontage of Cleburne City Cemetery that is currently mowed to turf height on the same schedule as the rest of the grounds, which never lets it flower or set seed the way it could if the mowing crew simply left it alone for the growing season.

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

authority-coordination confirm + before/after photos + stake count + sign photo + 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 that the revised mow schedule was agreed with the cemetery authority and the mowing contractor before any stake was placed
• Before photo of the zone under the routine mow schedule
• Confirmation that every stake and sign post was hand-driven into the surface and that no hole was dug for any of them
• Count of stakes placed and the zone boundary they mark
• After photo of the staked, signed deferred-mow zone

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
