Pull ivy and blackberry off the native trees.

English ivy and Himalayan blackberry are swallowing the forest edges of Swan Creek Park, strangling the native trees that shade the creek and keep its water cold for salmon. Hand-pulling at the park edge is endless, satisfying, chemical-free work that visibly frees trees every single session.

Pay

$180 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

before/after photos of freed trees and the cleared zone

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. Work the flagged park-edge zones agreed with the park stewardship contact.
2. Cut ivy vines at shoulder and ankle height around each affected tree and peel the ring free by hand.
3. Grub out blackberry canes and roots with hand tools in the marked zone, chemical-free.
4. Pile removed vegetation at the marked collection point.
5. Photograph freed trees and the cleared zone before and after, GPS-tagged and dated.

What counts as done

• Before photos of ivy-wrapped trees
• After photos of the same trees with survival rings cleared
• Photo of the vegetation pile at the collection point
• GPS coordinates and date

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
