Walk a fixed litter-count line along Wildcat Creek and record what accumulates where.

Cleanups on Wildcat Creek treat symptoms; the fixed monthly count is what shows where trash actually enters, which culvert, which fence gap, which corner. Without the transect data, the same bags get filled forever. Twenty minutes of honest counting per segment turns cleanup effort into source control.

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 — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Walk the same three 100-meter trail segments along the creek each month.
2. Count and categorize every visible litter item per segment on the data card without collecting.
3. Photograph each segment start and end stake plus the worst accumulation point.
4. Note likely entry sources (culverts, fence gaps, encampment edges) per segment.
5. File the card and photos as one dated record.

What counts as done

• Photo of the completed data card with date
• GPS-tagged photos of all three segment start points
• Photo of the worst accumulation point

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Watershed Health. A watershed is everything the land pours into a stream, and the stream keeps the record. The EPA's bioassessment method reads that record through the small creatures living in the gravel: mayflies and caddisflies mean clean water, only worms and midges mean trouble. Mastery looks like a person who can wade one riffle with a net and tell you how the whole valley is doing. That skill is built sample by sample. This packet is one of them: one site, one careful count, one entry in the long record of a stream.
