Plant fall-blooming nectar habitat for migrating monarchs, Goose Island State Park.

The survey above found the frostweed (Verbesina virginica) nectar bloom window at Goose Island State Park did not cover the fall passage, or the stand was absent; without a planting timed so its bloom covers the specific weeks migrating adults pass through the coastal bend, they reach this stretch of the funnel with nothing to fuel the nonstop flight to central Mexico.

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

park staff coordination confirm plus nursery-source confirm plus before after photos plus GPS

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. 1. Confirm with park staff that the survey above cleared this site for a staff-coordinated nectar planting, and that the planting is timed so the species' bloom window will cover the fall passage weeks migrating monarchs pass through the coastal bend.
2. 2. Source local-ecotype, nursery grown frostweed (Verbesina virginica) plants or seed; never wild-collected material. Any milkweed or nectar plant material used in this job is sourced as nursery grown, local-ecotype stock or purchased seed, never collected from a wild stand; wild native seed collection is its own separate, permitted, provenance-tracked job and is not part of this planting work.
3. 3. Plant at the staff-approved site and density, water in, and mulch around each plant.
4. 4. Photograph the finished planting and record the species, planting date, and expected bloom window relative to the fall passage.

What counts as done

• Park staff coordination confirmed and photographed
• Confirmation that the milkweed or nectar plant material used was nursery grown, local-ecotype stock or purchased seed, never collected from a wild stand; and, where milkweed was handled, confirmation gloves were worn and hands were washed after handling.
• Confirmation that no monarch or any butterfly was handled, netted, tagged, or collected at any point in this work; that no pesticide or herbicide was applied at any point; and that no precise location of a monarch roost tree or roosting cluster was recorded or published, with the record naming only the general public park vicinity.
• Photo of the finished, watered in, mulched nectar planting
• GPS waypoint of the general planting vicinity

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
