Plant a pollinator strip.

The biodiversity survey at Harrison Park, 1824 S Wood St, Pilsen, Chicago, IL 60608 found a mowed-turf margin with almost no forage for pollinators -- a native forb strip is the direct doing sibling of that finding.

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

seeding record + before photos + GPS boundary + emergence check

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.

Bring

• regional native forb/grass seed mix (Xerces Society or state pollinator-plan approved) at the planned rate
• no-till drill or hand broadcaster + rake for seed-to-soil contact
• camera + GPS + boundary marking flags/stakes
• gloves + sun protection

Steps

1. 1. ASSESS: photograph the strip/margin as found (bare ground, existing weeds, adjacent crop or pasture edge), record GPS boundary and area, and confirm the native mix + rate + seeding window against the site plan.
2. 2. Prepare the seedbed minimally (light raking of surface crust or weed knock-down already completed by others; no deep tillage) and mark the planting boundary.
3. 3. Broadcast or drill the native forb/grass mix at the planned rate and shallow depth appropriate to the species mix.
4. 4. Ensure seed-to-soil contact (rake-in or roll) and photograph/log the seeded boundary, mix, and rate as the establishment record.
5. 5. VERIFY: return at the plan's check window and photograph emergence across ≥3 representative points along the strip; log estimated native cover and flag bare gaps for reseeding.

What counts as done

• Seeding record (date, native forb/grass mix, rate, boundary)
• Before photos of the bare/weedy margin
• GPS boundary of the planted strip
• Emergence-check photos at 3+ representative points at the plan's check window

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
