Plant a native hedgerow linking public habitat past the edge of Google Pine Island, Pine Island, MN.

A fenced campus cuts a corridor; a hedgerow on the public side stitches it back. Along public right-of-way or park edge bordering Google Pine Island, with permission and an 811 locate, plant a mixed native hedgerow (shrubs and small trees suited to MN) that connects two existing patches of habitat found in the baseline, and record the connection it makes.

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

written permission + 811 ticket + GPS line + before/after photos + species list + patches connected

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.

Bring

• written permission from the public land authority
• 811 locate ticket for any digging
• regionally native seed mix or nursery stock with labels
• hand tools, cardboard or tarps for turf smothering
• no-mow signage
• GPS phone with camera

Steps

1. 1. Take the bird and pollinator baseline transect for the edge (biodiversity_survey packet) and choose the strip or line on public land, never on or against the campus fence.
2. 2. Obtain the authority's written permission and, for any digging, an honored 811 locate; record both numbers.
3. 3. Meadow: remove or smother the turf by hand or with cardboard, sow the native mix at the labeled rate, and post no-mow signs; record the seed label and a GPS polygon with before and after photos.
4. 4. Hedgerow: plant mixed native shrubs and small trees suited to the state along a GPS line that connects two habitat patches from the baseline; record species, counts and nursery source.
5. 5. Maintenance visit: hand-pull invasives by name, keep signs standing, water only in establishment drought, and record what is in bloom and what is visiting.
6. 6. Publish the record with GPS, photos and the named steward; anchor via vealth.net/anchor.

What counts as done

• The public authority's written permission and the 811 locate ticket number
• GPS line of the hedgerow with before and after photos
• Species list with counts, all native to the region, and the nursery source
• The two habitat patches the hedgerow connects, from the baseline transect

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
