All of it: the words, the place, the proof

Record each street tree's species, trunk diameter, and crown condition in South Los Angeles using the i-Tree Eco protocol. South LA is real, documented, canopy-poor ground: while a handful of affluent LA neighborhoods host a disproportionate share of the city's tree canopy, South LA's own council districts average well under the citywide rate, so an accurate inventory here feeds the exact planting and budget decisions the canopy-equity gap needs.

Offer to pay $130. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like
A worker at South Los Angeles wraps a diameter tape around a street tree's trunk at breast height, reads the diameter, and records the tree's species and crown condition.

This job is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price, not money held for the worker. 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
Species identified or flagged uncertain for expert ID + DBH measured at standard 4.5 ft height + Crown light exposure, dieback band recorded + Location recorded: GPS point or address + Dataset entered in i-Tree Eco-compatible form + Risk-sign tree cross-routed to the Level-1 packet

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

Safety, read before you claim

This is ground-level, non-invasive data collection only: no climbing, no root excavation, no pruning or treatment of any tree. Any tree with a structural risk sign routes to the separate Level-1 packet, and power-line trees are observed from a safe distance only.

The full safety list for this job:

  • DBH is measured with a tape from the ground, and a tree whose breast-height point is hard to reach is measured per the i-Tree Eco manual's guidance or skipped and noted, never climbed.
  • This is an inventory and benefit-estimation input, not a risk assessment, and a risk-sign tree routes to an ISA Certified Arborist.
  • No work or close approach near utility lines.
  • This packet is independent of and not affiliated with TreePeople, Loyola Marymount University, or the City of Los Angeles: the cited canopy-equity figures are named as real, verified public findings that motivate this location's priority, not an endorsement or partnership.
  • Wear a hi-vis vest near traffic.
How this work is done

How this work is done

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

Bring

  • GPS-capable phone
  • DBH tape (diameter-at-breast-height tape) or a standard tape measure
  • a tree species field guide or identification app
  • camera
  • a clipboard or tablet data-collection form matching the i-Tree Eco fields
  • hi-vis vest if working near traffic

Steps

  1. 1. Walk the assigned block or corridor and record a GPS point or address plus side/position for each tree encountered.
  2. 2. Identify the species from visible leaf, bark, and form characteristics; if uncertain, photograph the tree for expert ID and flag the record as species-uncertain rather than guessing.
  3. 3. Measure the trunk diameter with the DBH tape at the standard 4.5 ft (1.37 m) breast height; where that point is unusually hard to reach (steep slope, unusual form), measure per the i-Tree Eco manual's alternate guidance or skip and note the reason, never by climbing.
  4. 4. Record Crown Light Exposure on the 0 to 5 scale (how many sides of the crown receive direct light) and a crown-dieback condition band (for example Fair 10 to 25 percent, Poor 25 to 50 percent, Dead 100 percent).
  5. 5. Note the land-use context for each tree (street, park, yard) and count any vacant planting site along the corridor.
  6. 6. Photograph each inventoried tree and, separately, flag any tree showing an active structural risk sign (crack, cavity, hanging limb, sudden lean, conks) for the separate ISA Level-1 visual-check packet rather than assessing it here.
  7. 7. Enter or export the completed per-tree dataset in i-Tree Eco-compatible form, noting the total trees inventoried and any refused or inaccessible trees.
  8. 8. Submit the dataset to the program or municipality running the i-Tree Eco analysis so the records feed the canopy and ecosystem-service benefit estimate.

What counts as done

  • Species identified (or flagged uncertain and routed for expert ID) and DBH measured at the standard 4.5 ft (1.37 m) breast height with a diameter or DBH tape, recorded per tree
  • Crown Light Exposure (CLE, 0-5 scale) and crown-dieback condition band (e.g. Fair 10-25%, Poor 25-50%, Dead 100%) recorded per the i-Tree Eco field protocol
  • Each tree's location recorded (GPS point or address + side/position) and land-use context noted (street, park, yard, etc.)
  • The completed dataset entered or exported in i-Tree Eco-compatible form, with the total trees inventoried and any refused/inaccessible trees noted

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

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, made by the payer straight to the worker, with no Vealth fee. Paying Vealth is closed: Vealth takes no new card or wallet payment for a job. To fund a job, offer to pay the worker directly, then pay them yourself when you accept the proof, from your own wallet or by your own card or bank. From a wallet: prepare_token_offer, sign, submit_token_offer; after the proof is accepted you pay the worker on chain and the worker records it (prepare_token_settlement, or POST /labor/settle for USDC on Base). By card or bank: prepare_direct_offer, sign, submit_direct_offer; you pay the worker yourself and the worker records it with prepare_direct_settlement. Both are free, need no gas, and move no money through Vealth.

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
Vote for it, free Pledge backing, free
