the S Western Ave corridor, Chesterfield Square, Los Angeles, CA 90047
Plant a native tree-and-shrub greenway strip, the S Western Ave corridor, Chesterfield Square, Los Angeles, CA 90047.
A worker digs planting holes along the median greenway strip with a round-point shovel, sets native canopy trees and shrubs at grade, then mulches and waters each one in. Read all of it

All of it: the words, the place, the proof
Plant a mixed native tree-and-shrub understory along the median greenway strip at the S Western Ave corridor, Chesterfield Square, Los Angeles, CA 90047. It is bare turf and compacted dirt with a single street tree and nothing beneath it. Running the whole length closes the canopy gap between individual street trees and gives the corridor something continuous instead of scattered single plantings. For the payer: - Price: $420 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 $420. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.
Safety, read before you claim
Start after the crew's safety orientation. The employer provides drinking water, shade and cool-down rests, and N95 masks when wildfire smoke puts the AQI at 151 or more. No other special training is needed; coordinate timing with any median-mowing schedule. Stop, do not dig and reschedule if a buried utility is unmarked or suspected or no 811 locate is honored; never plant dry, circling-rooted or wounded stock; wear safety-toe boots and leather gloves.
The full safety list for this job:
- Gear, Title 8 sections 3385 and 3384: safety-toe boots for root balls and stakes of 50 pounds or more that can drop; leather gloves for rough bark, stakes and ties.
- 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 greenway planting before work (the strip, the date, and who waters it) 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 honored 811 utility locate for the greenway strip before starting.
- Record the GPS boundary of the strip to be planted.
- Photograph the bare, compacted turf strip as found.
- Inspect the delivered tree and shrub stock and set aside any dry, circling-rooted or wounded plants.
- Record the species and layout list, spacing the canopy trees and placing the shrub understory mix between them.
- Dig each planting hole by hand at the marked spacing and set each plant at grade.
- Backfill each hole, build a watering basin around the plant, and mulch it.
- Water each planted tree and shrub.
- Photograph the finished strip showing each plant set at grade with its mulch and watering basin.
What counts as done
- GPS boundary of the planted greenway strip
- Before photo of the bare turf/compacted strip
- Species/layout list (canopy tree spacing + shrub understory mix)
- After photos showing each plant set at grade with mulch and a watering basin
- Scope: the land manager's written scope for this greenway 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.
Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
The standard this serves
Urban Canopy. Urban canopy is the layer of leaves over a city, and it is infrastructure as surely as the pipes below the street: shade that cools a block in a heat wave, roots that drink a storm. The i-Tree protocol turns it into something you can count, tree by tree, so a city knows what it has and what it is losing. Mastery looks like a person who can read a whole street's trees at a walk. This packet is a piece of that census: a few trees observed carefully and recorded where the record counts.
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
