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

Walk one stretch of public path, about 300 metres, at an easy pace. For each patch of tall dry grass, giant reed (the tall cane-like grass) or other plant you think is not native within about 5 metres of the path, photograph it, drop a GPS pin and write down its plant name with how sure you are. You are mapping what grows beside the path, the way a plant survey does. You do not judge how likely a fire is, and you do not touch or remove anything. Put the path's name or the nearest sign in one photo so a second person can find the same stretch.

Offer to pay $80. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

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
photos of each patch (the whole patch, a close-up of a leaf or seed head, and the path beside it) + a GPS pin for each patch and its size in steps + for each plant name, how sure you are (certain, likely or uncertain), plus the date and time

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

Safety, read before you claim

Stay on the marked public path and its mown or paved edge. Never enter dense brush, a closed trail or a fenced area, and do not pull, cut or carry away any plant: this is public parkland. Skip any patch on a steep slope or near a drop. If the park or the path is closed for any reason, do not go. Wear closed shoes and a hat and carry water.

How this work is done

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 20–45 minutes. Method of record: EDDMapS (Early Detection and Distribution Mapping System) reporting protocol, Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health, University of Georgia, launched 2005, eddmaps.org. Reporting and small-scale hand-removal only; no herbicide product, rate, or application method is ever named.

Bring

  • GPS-capable phone or handheld GPS unit
  • camera
  • gloves suited to the plant (nitrile or leather)
  • a plant identification field guide or the EDDMapS/iNaturalist app
  • a small hand tool for hand-pulling only
  • a resealable bag for a voucher clipping if requested

Steps

  1. 1. Approach the suspected invasive patch and, before touching anything, photograph the whole plant or patch, a diagnostic close-up of leaf, flower, or fruit, and the surrounding habitat.
  2. 2. Record the precise GPS location and estimate the patch size in square feet or acres.
  3. 3. Identify the species using a field guide or the EDDMapS/iNaturalist app and record an honest ID-confidence level: certain, likely, or uncertain; never report an uncertain ID as confirmed.
  4. 4. If the ID is uncertain, route the photo set to a state or regional verifier or the local extension office for confirmation before or alongside submission.
  5. 5. Submit the report through the EDDMapS web portal or its regional-network app, entering the photos, GPS point, patch size, and ID-confidence level, and record the submission date.
  6. 6. If the patch is small and isolated, hand-pull it wearing gloves suited to the plant, bag any seed heads or fruit for disposal, and never choose, apply, or recommend any herbicide product or rate.
  7. 7. If the infestation is large, resprouting, or woody, do not attempt removal; note that it was left in place and route it to a professional invasive-species contractor or the local Cooperative Weed Management Area / extension office.
  8. 8. If the species is a suspected new state or county record or a designated noxious weed, flag it in the EDDMapS report and also route it to the state department of agriculture's noxious-weed program the same day.

If it does not match the plan

  • ID confidence is uncertain -> route the photo set to a state/regional verifier or extension office for confirmation before treating the report as confirmed.
  • Infestation is large, resprouting, or woody -> do not attempt removal; route to a professional invasive-species contractor or the local Cooperative Weed Management Area / extension office.
  • Suspected new state or county record, or a designated noxious weed -> flag in the EDDMapS report and also route to the state department of agriculture's noxious-weed program the same day.
  • Handling an unknown, thorny, or sap-bearing plant -> never handle it bare-handed; wear gloves suited to the plant to avoid sap, sting, or dermatitis risk.

What counts as done

  • photos of each patch (the whole patch, a close-up of a leaf or seed head, and the path beside it)
  • a GPS pin for each patch and its size in steps
  • for each plant name, how sure you are (certain, likely or uncertain), plus the date and time

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
