Build a livestock-exclusion fence along the creek reach, a working ranch parcel near Rockdale, TX.

Cattle on this ranch have open access to the creek that crosses the property, trampling the bank and fouling the water they also drink from; a fence set back from the water's edge keeps livestock off the bank itself while still allowing access at a single hardened crossing point.

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 + fence-line GPS + crossing-point confirmation

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. 1. Walk the creek reach with the rancher and flag the fence line set back from the top of bank; photograph the unfenced reach before starting.
2. 2. Set posts at the flagged spacing and string wire per the plan, leaving one hardened crossing point for livestock water access.
3. 3. Install gates or a cattle guard at the crossing point and confirm the fence excludes the bank on both sides of it.
4. 4. Walk the completed line, test tension at several points, and photograph the finished fence from the matching before vantage.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the unfenced creek reach
• GPS trace of the new fence line and the single crossing point
• Confirmation the bank is excluded from livestock access on both sides of the crossing

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.
