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

Plant native riparian trees along the Salinas River buffer, site 2 -- the Salinas River corridor near San Ardo, Monterey County, CA. The bioassessment survey found a thin riparian buffer at this reach; planting native cottonwood, willow, and mulefat behind the accessible bank builds the deeper-rooted canopy layer the watershed-health baseline needs long-term.

Fund it for $130. 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
GPS waypoint + before/after photos + mulch/watering-basin confirm + species record

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.

Steps

  1. Record a GPS waypoint at the site this job's title names, inside the posting radius, on the upper bank or floodplain terrace back from the water's edge.
  2. Photograph the site before planting.
  3. Select native cottonwood, willow and mulefat stock and record the species and count planted.
  4. Hand-dig each hole on the terrace, checking first that the ground is clear of any marked or suspected utility line.
  5. Set each plant so the root flare sits visible at grade, then backfill and firm the soil.
  6. Apply mulch 2 to 3 inches deep around each plant, held off the trunk, and form a watering basin.
  7. Water each plant in through the watering basin.
  8. Photograph the planted site from the same vantage as the before photo, showing the root flare visible at grade.

What counts as done

  • GPS waypoint recorded inside the posting radius
  • Before and after photos showing the root flare visible at grade
  • Mulch applied 2-3 inches deep and held off the trunk, with a watering basin formed and watered in
  • Species and count planted recorded

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_1790740556079_694wfqy","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
