Run the pollinator and bird baseline.

A solar meadow is a claim until somebody counts what lives in it. Walk a fixed transect at Jack's Solar Garden at dawn for birds by point count and again in midday sun for pollinators on a timed transect, recording bloom in flower at each stop. agrivoltaic research plots, pollinator plantings and crop rows under and between the panel rows. The baseline is what every later ground-cover and grazing packet at this place gets scored against, so it is walked the same way, at the same points, in every season it is repeated.

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

GPS transect + point-count sheets with time and weather + timed pollinator counts by group + bloom in flower at each stop

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

• binoculars
• field ID guide or app
• GPS phone
• data sheet / recorder
• timer
• camera

Steps

1. 1. Navigate to the first survey point; record GPS; note start time, weather, and wind (surveys pause in rain/high wind).
2. 2. Wait a settling minute, then run a fixed-duration count (e.g., 5 min) within a fixed radius; record every species seen/heard and the count of each.
3. 3. Photograph the habitat and any species you can; note any threatened/target or invasive species.
4. 4. Move to the next point along the transect (keep points >=200 m apart) and repeat the count.
5. 5. Record total effort (points, duration) and observer.
6. 6. Enter the per-point species lists + counts, GPS, weather, effort, and photos into the proof record; sign.

What counts as done

• The GPS track of the transect and the fixed point locations, with a note of which are public ground and which are on permission
• Point-count sheets by species with time, weather and observer
• Timed pollinator counts by group, with the transect duration recorded
• The plants in flower at each stop, named to species where you can, with a photo of each

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
