Clean and green a vacant West Side lot.

Storm losses and decades of disinvestment have left Port Arthur's West Side pocked with vacant lots that collect debris and tall weeds, dragging down the blocks that stayed. A cleared, mowed, edge-planted lot reads as cared-for instead of abandoned and stops attracting dumping. This is honest sweat work that changes how a street feels in one day.

Pay

$220 proposed

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

Matched before/after lot photos plus disposal proof

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

The creator wallet. Its signature is what approves proof and settles the wage.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Confirm the lot and permission with the owner or city contact, and photograph it as found.
2. Remove litter and household debris with gloves, leaving any drums, sharps, or unknown containers photographed and reported instead.
3. Mow or string-trim vegetation and rake the lot clean.
4. Plant a simple maintained edge, native grasses or shrubs, along the sidewalk line if the host approves.
5. Photograph the finished lot from the same angles as the before shots, with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Before and after photos from matching angles with GPS and date
• Disposal receipt or legal pickup photo
• Photo of planted edge if installed

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Urban Canopy. Urban canopy is the layer of leaves over a city, and it is infrastructure as surely as the pipes below the street: shade that cools a block in a heat wave, roots that drink a storm. The i-Tree protocol turns it into something you can count, tree by tree, so a city knows what it has and what it is losing. Mastery looks like a person who can read a whole street's trees at a walk. This packet is a piece of that census: a few trees observed carefully and recorded where the record counts.
