All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Plant native edge vegetation along the lake shoreline at the south shoreline of the MacArthur Park lake in Los Angeles. The shoreline assessment scored this stretch bare turf to the waterline, with no filtration or habitat edge for the lake. For the payer: - Price: $260 per job, counted in plants set, by species. - Likely payer: A grant-funded nonprofit crew (LA Conservation Corps, LANI, Clean California or CAL FIRE grants), or the site's host. - No license is needed while the whole job, labor and materials together, stays under $1,000 (Business and Professions Code section 7048); at $1,000 or more, a CSLB C-27 Landscaping license.
Offer to pay $260. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Start after the crew's safety orientation. Plant from the bank only and never enter the water; use hand tools and follow the desert and urban sun protocol; employer provides water, shade and rests, and N95s at smoke AQI 151 or more; wear boots and gloves.
The full safety list for this job:
- Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: waterproof non-slip boots for slick banks, an abnormally wet location; cut-resistant waterproof gloves for glass, sharps and contaminated water.
- Wildfire smoke, section 5141.1: at a PM2.5 AQI of 151 or more the employer provides N95 respirators for voluntary use and moves the work indoors or cuts exposure where feasible; above AQI 500 respirators are required under a respiratory protection program.
- Heat, section 3395: drinking water, shade and cool-down rests; shade is ready at 80 F and the high-heat steps start at 95 F.
- Orientation, section 3203: the crew's injury and illness prevention program orientation comes before any work.
How this work is done
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.
Steps
- Obtain the land manager's written scope for this edge planting before work (the shoreline reach, the date, and who checks survival) and, if a crew or grantee sent you, its work order. Get the site host's or agency's written consent to work there too. Write what you got at the top of your proof. With no written scope, stop.
- Confirm the titled shoreline run and remain on the bank.
- Apply desert and urban sun protection before starting.
- Photograph the bare shoreline edge before planting.
- Use hand tools from the bank to plant native edge vegetation without entering the water.
- Record each planted species and its count.
- Photograph the planted edge and record the GPS position.
What counts as done
- Before photo of the bare edge
- After photo of the planted edge
- Species/count log
- Scope: the land manager's written scope for this edge planting, and the work order of any crew or grantee that sent you, dated before the first photo.
- Site consent: the site host's or agency's written consent to work there, dated before the first photo.
- Sign-off: the site host or steward, or the supervisor of the crew of record, signs off the finished work in writing. Write who signed and the date, or the date you asked.
- Photos: take the before photo and the after photo from the same point (stand where the first one was taken and match its frame), each with its GPS point and its date and time.
- Care, agreed before you plant: write who waters this planting and for how long (the payer's establishment period; three years is the usual ask), and who replaces a plant that dies. With no named steward, do not plant.
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, 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
