Clear litter from the public banks of Swan Creek Park.

Swan Creek runs through one of Tacoma's largest natural parks on the east side, and its ravine edges collect litter washed and dumped from the surrounding streets. Every bag pulled off the banks is a bag that never reaches the Puyallup River or the Sound. The park is public and the work repeats monthly.

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

before/after stretch photos plus the bag count at the collection point

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. Walk the public trail sections of Swan Creek Park with bags and grabbers.
2. Collect litter from the trail edges and flat bank areas reachable without entering the water or climbing slopes.
3. Separate recyclables from trash and weigh or count the filled bags.
4. Stage bags at the agreed park collection point.
5. Photograph the cleared stretches and the staged bags, GPS-tagged and dated.

What counts as done

• Before photos of littered stretches
• After photos of the same stretches cleared
• Photo of staged bags with count
• GPS coordinates and date

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.
