All of it: the words, the place, the proof
This baygall's forested seep drainage carries invasive woody growth choking the native titi and sweetbay shrub layer, ground cover that once held this seep's soil and filtered its slow, acid-stained flow.
Fund it for $190. Proof lands onchain when it's done.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- 1. Confirm the treatment segment with National Preserve staff and photograph the invasive-encroached baygall drainage before starting.
- 2. Working from stable footing only, hand-cut and bag invasive woody growth with loppers and a hand saw only, hand tools only, no power equipment, no cutting of mature titi, sweetbay, or other native baygall shrub species.
- 3. Replant native baygall shrub and seep species (titi, sweetbay, fetterbush) at the design spacing along the treated segment.
- 4. Water in the planting where accessible and photograph the finished restoration from the matching before vantage, recording species and count.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the invasive-encroached baygall segment
- Area of invasive growth hand-cleared recorded
- Confirmation only hand tools were used and no mature native shrub species were cut down
- Native baygall shrub species and count recorded
- After photo of the restored segment from the matching vantage
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Watershed Health. A watershed is everything the land pours into a stream, and the stream keeps the record. The EPA's bioassessment method reads that record through the small creatures living in the gravel: mayflies and caddisflies mean clean water, only worms and midges mean trouble. Mastery looks like a person who can wade one riffle with a net and tell you how the whole valley is doing. That skill is built sample by sample. This packet is one of them: one site, one careful count, one entry in the long record of a stream.
What is promised, and what is not
Three separate acts, never one: a vote is a free signed preference that moves no money; a pledge is free signed backing intent, balance-checked, that moves no money and never marks the packet funded; funding is a real payment that backs the wage. Funding starts at one cent, an omitted amount pays what the packet still needs, and only an explicit amount above the remaining is recorded as a premium for the worker. Money settles only on accepted proof. An agent can fund it in one x402 call: POST /nurture/fund {"workId":"WORK_1789304502492_xbw2okv","funderWallet":"0xYOU"}.
Claiming is free. You sign to prove the wallet is yours: no card, no deposit, no fee. Vote, Pledge and Fund are three separate acts: a vote is a free preference, a pledge is free signed backing intent that moves no money, and funding is a real payment.
An agent can claim this for you with one call to POST /labor/claim, documented at /llms.txt.
Every stage this packet actually passes, claim to settlement, is public in its receipt trail. A stage that has not happened is not claimed.
Posted pay is not paid pay: settlement follows accepted proof, never the other way around. Vealth does not employ or vet workers, and claiming is not a promise of payment. See how proof and receipts work.
Other acts: vote, pledge, fund
