Plant native shoreline species along the Hercules bay front where the host crew marks.

The Hercules waterfront district rebuilt its bay edge with trails, but stretches of the upland shoreline buffer are bare fill or weeds instead of the native coastal scrub that holds soil and feeds pollinators. Host-marked planting days convert those gaps to living buffer, one flat of natives at a time.

Pay

$320 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

Before/after zone photos plus species planting log

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. Meet the site host and confirm the marked planting zone and species layout.
2. Plant container natives at marked spacing, root flare at grade, in hand-dug holes.
3. Water each plant in thoroughly and cup a watering basin.
4. Mulch between plants, keeping stems clear.
5. Photograph the planted zone against the pre-work state and log the plant count by species.

What counts as done

• Before and after photos of the planting zone
• Photo of the species log with counts and date
• GPS-tagged photo of finished basins

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Coastal Habitat. Coastal habitat is the green fringe where land meets sea: eelgrass meadows, kelp beds, salt marsh. Acre for acre these are among the most life-giving places on Earth, nursery to the fish and buffer to the storm, and NOAA's assessment methods exist because they are quietly shrinking. Mastery looks like a person who can survey a stretch of shore and say, with evidence, whether the meadow is spreading or retreating. This packet is one piece of that watching: one site, one careful observation, one record added to the long ledger of the coast.
