Plant desert windbreak rows on invited Salton City lots facing the sea.

Between the exposed lakebed and Salton City's homes stands mostly nothing: no tree line, no shrub belt, no windbreak to comb dust from the wind. Rows of salt-tolerant desert species (tamarisk-free natives like mesquite, quailbush, and creosote) planted on invited lots begin the living dust screen the community lacks.

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.

How this work is done

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

Steps

1. Confirm each host's invitation and stake row lines perpendicular to the prevailing wind.
2. Call 811 utility locate before digging.
3. Plant salt-tolerant native shrubs and trees at spacing, with deep basins and mulch.
4. Water in deeply and photograph the planted rows with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the bare line
• After photo of planted rows with basins
• Species and count list, GPS and date

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Tree Planting and Establishment. Planting a tree properly is a codified craft, and the arborists' standards are blunt about why: most young trees that die were killed at planting, by a hole dug too deep, a root ball left bound, a first summer without water. Mastery looks like trees you planted years ago still standing, which is the only measure arborists accept. The craft lives in exactly the steps this packet asks for: the wide shallow hole, the freed roots, the mulch kept off the trunk, the watering that follows. Plant one tree correctly and you know something real.
