Mark a refuge boundary fence span for crane visibility, site 6, the Aransas National Wildlife Refuge boundary fence, accessed from a public county road right of way between Austwell and Tivoli, TX, Re.

The survey above found an un-marked refuge boundary fence span near a marsh flight path used by the wintering whooping crane flock, and hand installed high-visibility marking tags would otherwise leave this collision hazard unaddressed for another season.

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 tag count and span length 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 fence span is the refuge boundary fence (non-energized wire livestock and boundary fence, never a power line) with US Fish and Wildlife Service refuge staff and photograph the un-marked span before starting.
2. 2. Hand attach high-visibility marking tags to the top wire of the fence span at the labeled spacing, hand tools only, no power equipment.
3. 3. Confirm each tag is securely fastened and clearly visible from the marsh side.
4. 4. Photograph the marked span from the matching before vantage and record the tag count and span length.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the un-marked fence span
• Confirmation the fence is non-energized (never a power line) with refuge staff sign off
• Marking tag count and span length recorded
• After photo of the marked span from the matching vantage

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Wetland Condition. Wetlands are the landscape's kidneys and nurseries at once: they filter the water, absorb the flood, and raise the young of half the creatures around them. The EPA's rapid assessment gives a trained visitor a way to grade one honestly: the plants present, the water's path, the soil, the wear at the edges. Mastery looks like walking a marsh and knowing, defensibly, how it is doing and what threatens it. This packet is one such visit, one wetland's condition recorded to the method. What is watched can be defended; unwatched wetlands quietly disappear.
