Clean the Uvas Creek banks along the Gilroy levee trail each month.

Uvas Creek runs along Gilroy's south side past Christmas Hill Park, carrying steelhead in wet years and the city's windblown trash in all of them. The levee trail makes its banks accessible; nobody owns their cleanup. A monthly sweep from the trail keeps the creek's accessible reach clean through the season the fish need it most.

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 bank photos plus weighed tally

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 levee trail reach by Christmas Hill Park with bags, gloves, and grabbers.
2. Collect litter from the trail and dry upper bank only.
3. Tally item types and sort recycling out.
4. Weigh and stage bags at the park bins.
5. Photograph before and after plus the tally card.

What counts as done

• GPS-tagged before and after photos of the same reach
• Photo of the completed tally card
• Photo of weighed bags

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.
