Clear litter from a Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes public access point.

The Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes Preserve, the largest dune ecosystem on the West Coast, catches wind-blown litter at its public access points that the preserve's small stewardship crew can't clear alone. A volunteer cleanup pass at the access point keeps trash out of the dune and wetland habitat beyond.

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 the cleared stretch plus bag count

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 access trail with litter grabbers and bags.
2. Collect litter along the trail and open access area.
3. Photograph notable debris items with GPS and date.
4. Carry collected litter to a public waste and recycling point.
5. Photograph the cleared stretch with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Before photo of litter
• After photo with GPS/date
• Bag count note

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Coastal Habitat. Coastal habitat is the green fringe where land meets sea: eelgrass meadows, kelp beds, salt marsh. Acre for acre these are among the most life-giving places on Earth, nursery to the fish and buffer to the storm, and NOAA's assessment methods exist because they are quietly shrinking. Mastery looks like a person who can survey a stretch of shore and say, with evidence, whether the meadow is spreading or retreating. This packet is one piece of that watching: one site, one careful observation, one record added to the long ledger of the coast.
