Map and photograph the dump sites along Joshua Tree's desert road shoulders.

The dirt shoulders off Joshua Tree's grid of desert roads collect dumped mattresses, construction debris, and abandoned appliances, trash hauled out of sight of the highway and left in a landscape whose whole economy is its beauty. Documented sites get county pickup; undocumented ones become permanent. A monthly mapped sweep builds the queue.

Pay

$160 proposed

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.

Proof

Mapped photo log of every site on the route

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.

Steps

1. Drive or walk the assigned desert-road route and stop at each dump site.
2. Photograph each site wide and close from the public shoulder.
3. Log GPS, size, and contents category.
4. Flag suspected chemicals, drums, or asbestos sheet without approaching.
5. File the mapped photo log with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Wide and close photos per site with GPS and date
• Size and contents log
• Hazard flags for suspect materials

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Community Needs Intake. Community needs intake is the front door of ecological work, run like a good 311 desk: a neighbor names a specific problem in a specific place, an eroding slope, a flooded corner, a bare lot, and it is documented with a photo, a location, and a plain account of who is affected, then mapped to the global goal it belongs to. Mastery looks like intake so clear that a stranger could fund the fix from the write-up alone. This packet is one need, seen and recorded properly. Nothing gets repaired that was never named.
