Anyone can start here · the Middle Fork Eel River corridor near its confluence with the Black Butte River, east of Covelo in Round Valley, Mendocino County, CA
Hand-pull invasive blackberry cane from a Middle Fork Eel River bank, site 3 -- the Middle Fork Eel River corridor near its confluence with the Black Butte River, east of Covelo.
Fund it for $130. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
$130 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.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
What the work involvesHimalayan blackberry cane has taken over this bank segment the shade-gap survey flagged, choking out the native willow and alder that would shade the river for salmon and steelhead.
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Bring
- grabber tool + trash bags (litter removal)
- hand pruners/loppers + heavy gloves (invasive removal)
- trowel/shovel + native plant stock + mulch (riparian planting)
- mallet + dormant willow/native stake cuttings (bank stabilization)
- camera + GPS
Steps
- 1. ASSESS: photograph the bank section as found (litter, invasive cover, bare/eroding soil) and confirm the work stays entirely on dry ground above the water line.
- 2. Clear litter and debris by hand/grabber tool, and hand-pull or cut invasive vegetation at the root, bagging any seeded/fruiting material for off-site disposal.
- 3. Plant native riparian species (or drive live willow/native stakes for bank stabilization where erosion is active) at proper spacing, forming a watering basin and mulching each plant.
- 4. Deep-water each new planting from the bank with a hose or watering can, never entering the channel.
- 5. VERIFY: photograph the finished bank section from matching vantage, log species/count/bag totals, and confirm no work crossed the water line.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the cane-choked bank segment
- Photo of the cleared root crowns (dug or cut at the base with hand tools)
- Bagged/piled debris photo staged for removal, not left in the water
- After photo of the cleared segment from the accessible bank
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
What is promised, and what is not.
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1788198818004_331nods","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
