Clear the trash from Gibson Creek's open banks through downtown Ukiah.

Gibson Creek threads through downtown Ukiah mostly unseen, collecting shopping carts, bottles, and camp debris where it runs open, then delivering whatever floats to the Russian River. A monthly sweep of the open, walkable reaches keeps the creek an asset instead of a gutter.

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 with haul tally

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

The creator wallet. Its signature is what approves proof and settles the wage.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Walk the assigned open reach and photograph litter concentrations from the top of bank.
2. Collect litter from dry, gently sloped banks only with grabbers and gloves.
3. Bag and tally items; stage carts and heavy finds at the street for pickup.
4. Photograph and report any active camp respectfully to the county's outreach line rather than disturbing it.
5. Photograph the cleared reach and the staged haul.

What counts as done

• Before photos with GPS and date
• After photos of cleared banks
• Bag and cart tally with staging photo

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.
