Plant native cover along the public Watsonville Slough trail edge, Watsonville, CA.
A planter kneels on the bank at the public Watsonville Slough trail edge and sets native sedges into the bare, eroding wetland edge, filling the gap with planted stems that begin filtering runoff into the water. Read all of it

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Plant native cover along the public Watsonville Slough trail edge, Watsonville, CA. The public Watsonville Slough system on the city's edge provides bird habitat but has bare, eroding banks in places. Planting native cover along the trail edge stabilizes the bank and improves habitat. Work is surface level only, call 811 before any digging beyond 12 inches.

How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Walk to the bare, eroding wetland edge named in the job and photograph it as found, working from the bank.
- Compile a list of native sedge, rush or emergent species suited to the wetland-edge zone this job's title names.
- Mark the planting zone's boundary along the edge and record a GPS boundary of the zone.
- Dig planting holes by hand at even spacing along the marked zone.
- Set each plant at the same depth it grew in its container and firm the soil around it.
- Log the planting density, the number of plants set per marked segment, along the edge zone.
- Photograph the planted edge after finishing.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the bare eroding wetland-edge fringe
- Native sedge/rush plant list suited to Wyoming stock-pond wetland edges
- Planting-density log along the edge zone
- After photo of the planted edge + GPS boundary of the zone
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Wetland Condition. Wetlands are the landscape's kidneys and nurseries at once: they filter the water, absorb the flood, and raise the young of half the creatures around them. The EPA's rapid assessment gives a trained visitor a way to grade one honestly: the plants present, the water's path, the soil, the wear at the edges. Mastery looks like walking a marsh and knowing, defensibly, how it is doing and what threatens it. This packet is one such visit, one wetland's condition recorded to the method. What is watched can be defended; unwatched wetlands quietly disappear.
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_1790746123079_gfl3fok","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
