Plant native sedges and rushes.

The survey above found a bare or thin margin at this spring-fed cienega desert wetland, ground that native sedges, rushes, and spikerush would otherwise hold and filter for this rare Trans-Pecos habitat.

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 + species/count record + GPS

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. Confirm the treatment reach with state park staff and photograph the bare or thin cienega margin from the stable bank edge before planting.
2. 2. Work only from the stable bank, boardwalk, or dock edge, never entering standing water or soft tidal-like mud.
3. 3. Plant native sedges, rushes, and spikerush at the design spacing along the accessible margin.
4. 4. Photograph the finished planting from the matching before vantage and record species and count.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the bare, thin cienega margin from the stable bank edge
• Native species (sedge, rush, or spikerush) and count recorded
• Confirmation the planting stayed on the stable bank, boardwalk, or dock edge, never entering standing water
• After photo of the finished planting from the matching vantage

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.
