Plant a riparian buffer along the Androscoggin.

The riverbank at Riverside Park along the Androscoggin River in Berlin has a bare, eroding strip where mill-era clearing stripped out the native buffer. The city wants native shrubs planted to stabilize the bank and shade the water.

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

Photo of the finished buffer row plus a GPS tag and plant count log.

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. Confirm the buffer planting zone along the riverbank with the host.
2. Clear invasive vegetation from the planting strip.
3. Plant native shrubs and trees at the recommended spacing.
4. Mulch around each new plant.
5. Water each plant and photograph the finished buffer row.

What counts as done

• before photo
• after photo
• GPS location tag
• written plant count log

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.
