Plant native sedges and rushes.

The survey above found this sand-sheet pothole wetland's dry margin bare and thin, ground cover that native sedges and rushes would otherwise hold to filter runoff before it reaches the shallow Gulf Coast aquifer below.

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 planting margin with city parks staff and photograph the bare or thin pothole-wetland margin from the stable dry edge before planting.
2. 2. Work only from the stable, dry margin, never entering standing water or a saturated edge.
3. 3. Plant native wetland-margin sedges and rushes at the design spacing along the accessible dry edge.
4. 4. Water in and photograph the finished planting from the matching before vantage and record species and count.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the bare, thin pothole-wetland margin
• Native sedge or rush species and count recorded
• Confirmation the planting stayed on the stable, dry margin, 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.
