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 plus area-cleared record plus species/count record plus 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 segment with Culberson County road staff and photograph the bare or invasive-plant choked wash bank before starting.
2. 2. Hand-clear invasive plants from the wash bank with hand tools only, no power equipment.
3. 3. Hand-plant native desert willow, mesquite, and catclaw acacia along the cleared wash bank at the design spacing.
4. 4. Water in where accessible and photograph the restored wash bank from the matching before vantage, recording species and count.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the bare or invasive-plant choked wash bank
• Area of invasive plants hand-cleared recorded
• Confirmation only hand tools were used
• Native species and count recorded
• After photo of the restored wash bank 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.
