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 and after photos of the tree pit plus a GPS tag matching the tree location.

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. Clear compacted soil, trash, and weeds from the tree pit down to bare earth.
2. Loosen the top few inches of soil around the root zone without disturbing roots.
3. Add a layer of compost or fresh topsoil to the pit.
4. Install or repair the tree grate or guard if the pit has one.
5. Water the tree well and photograph the finished pit.

What counts as done

• before photo
• after photo
• GPS location tag
• written note on compost volume added

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Urban Canopy. Urban canopy is the layer of leaves over a city, and it is infrastructure as surely as the pipes below the street: shade that cools a block in a heat wave, roots that drink a storm. The i-Tree protocol turns it into something you can count, tree by tree, so a city knows what it has and what it is losing. Mastery looks like a person who can read a whole street's trees at a walk. This packet is a piece of that census: a few trees observed carefully and recorded where the record counts.
