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

Survey a Portland-area site for bloom continuity, nesting habitat, and pesticide risk using the Xerces Society approach. This standard's own source guide is published by the organization headquartered here.

Fund it for $125. Proof lands onchain when it's done.

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
Bloom presence assessed for spring, summer, fall + Ground-nesting, cavity-nesting habitat surveyed + Pesticide use history, buffer distances recorded + Dated, ownable fix plan for every gap

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

How this work is done

How this work is done

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

Bring

  • The Xerces Society Habitat Assessment Guide and scoresheet matched to the site type (yard/garden/park, farm/ag landscape, natural area/rangeland, or species-specific form)
  • A regional native-plant / bloom-period reference list
  • A tape measure or paced-distance method for estimating habitat area and buffer/setback distances
  • The site's known pesticide-use history where available

Steps

  1. 1. Select the matching Xerces guide/scoresheet for the site type and record the site boundary and total area.
  2. 2. Foraging Habitat: walk the site and tally pollinator-friendly bloom present in spring, summer, and fall SEPARATELY — a season with no blooming forage is a named gap, not just a lower score.
  3. 3. Nesting Habitat: survey for both ground-nesting conditions (bare or sparsely vegetated, well-drained soil) and cavity/stem-nesting material (dead wood, pithy or hollow stems, bunch grasses left standing); record presence/absence and rough extent of each.
  4. 4. Pesticide Practices: record known spray history, timing relative to bloom, and any buffer/setback from foraging or nesting habitat; note drift risk from neighboring land.
  5. 5. Score each category per the guide's point system (Foraging up to 100, Nesting up to 50, Pesticide Practices up to 35, Community Action up to 40) and total the site score.
  6. 6. Where the site falls within an ESA-listed pollinator's range (e.g. the rusty patched bumble bee, Bombus affinis), apply the matching Xerces species-specific habitat form; OBSERVE only, never handle or collect the species.
  7. 7. Write the improvement plan the site owner actually owns: named gaps by category with concrete, dated next steps (species to plant for the missing bloom season, no-mow/no-spray zones, etc.).
  8. 8. Set the re-audit date and record the baseline score for trend.

What counts as done

  • Bloom presence assessed separately for spring, summer, and fall, with any season lacking forage named as a gap
  • Both ground-nesting and cavity/stem-nesting habitat surveyed and recorded (presence/absence and rough extent)
  • Pesticide-use history and buffer/setback distances recorded against actual site practice
  • A dated, site-owner-actionable improvement plan recorded for every category gap found

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 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_1790541022699_sde1fb1","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
