Plant longleaf pine seedlings on the deep sand, site 3, the Water Oak Trail, Village Creek State Park, 8854 Park Road 74, Lumberton, TX 77657, Hardin County.

The survey above found sparse longleaf regeneration in this deep-sand opening, and TPWD coordinated hand planting of containerized longleaf seedlings is the concrete step that keeps this fire-adapted sandyland stocked with the species that defines it.

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

TPWD coordination confirm plus before after photos plus species and count record plus GPS

How this work is done

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

Steps

1. 1. Confirm the site and work plan with Village Creek State Park staff before starting; this is public Texas Parks and Wildlife Department parkland on a deep-sand pine sandyland with adjoining baygall bog habitat.
2. 2. Photograph the sparse-regeneration opening before starting, from the same vantage used in the survey.
3. 3. Immediately beside the trail tread, hand dig planting holes in the cleared, open deep sand and plant containerized longleaf pine seedlings at the design spacing, hand tools only.
4. 4. Photograph the finished planting from the matching before vantage and record species, count, and spacing.

What counts as done

• Confirmation the site and planting plan were coordinated with Village Creek State Park staff
• Before photo of the sparse-regeneration opening
• This work never leaves the maintained trail tread. The deep, droughty sand off-trail does not recover once compacted or rutted, and this trail sits directly above a fragile bog and seep system; staying on the tread protects both.
• Confirmation no wildlife was approached, fed, or baited
• Never collect, dig up, or remove any plant, including any orchid or carnivorous plant near the seep line; document and photograph only.
• Longleaf pine seedling count and spacing recorded
• After photo of the planted opening from the matching vantage

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
