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

Plant live willow stakes along the bare bank near Blake Ave in Los Angeles. The arundo removal on this reach left bare soil that will erode with the next storm, and the pole cuttings root fast and hold the bank while the native planting fills in. For the payer: - Price: $280 per job, counted in willow stakes planted. - 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 $280. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

What it looks like: A worker cuts live willow stakes with loppers and sets them into the bare soil of the bank at a cleared bank reach of the LA River near Blake Ave, spacing them evenly along the reach.

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.

Safety, read before you claim

Start after the crew's safety orientation. Use hand tools only, work from the established bank or bike path, never enter the water channel, and check the current flow advisory first; call 811 before any digging; employer provides water, shade and rests; 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

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

Steps

Obtain the land manager's written scope for this bank planting before work (the 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.
Check the current flow advisory for the reach before starting.
Record GPS waypoints marking the start and end of the reach named in this job's title.
Photograph the bare, cleared bank before planting any stakes.
Cut live willow stakes and set them by hand into the bare soil along the reach, working from the established bank or bike path.
Space and count the stakes as they are set, spacing them evenly along the reach.
Log the stake count and spacing recorded while planting.
Photograph the planted reach after all stakes are set.
Submit the before photo, the stake count and spacing log, the after photo and the GPS waypoints as the job's proof.

What counts as done

Before photo of the bare cleared bank
Stake count and spacing log
After photo of the planted reach
Scope: the land manager's written scope for this bank 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

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, 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
