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

Plant native sedge and willow along the bare pond-edge fringe at Ernest E Debs Regional Park, Montecito Heights, Los Angeles, CA 90031. The condition walk is expected to find this section of the reservoir pond weed-choked, with nothing holding the bank or filtering runoff, and real habitat structure returns at the water's edge. For the payer: - Price: $380 per job, counted in plants set along the edge, by species. - Likely payer: Measure W, the Safe Clean Water Program, through the project owner. - 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 $380. 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.

Safety, read before you claim

Work only from the path, boardwalk or firm bank with the agency's written permission, a second person and a life jacket near deep water; never wade into the lake, soft mud, channel or tidal water. Tidal marsh and river-mouth sites are not this job.

The full safety list for this job:

This job asks for no licence or supervision, only coordination with Los Angeles County Parks.
Work from the path or established bank edge only, and never wade into the pond or soft mud.
Keep the second person in sight and agree a check-in time. A life jacket is worn wherever a fall could reach deep water. The managing agency's trained crew plants tidal marsh and river-mouth sites at low tide on its own plan. Marsh and lake mud is soft and can trap a leg. A fall can put a person into untreated, algae-bearing water carrying bacteria, leptospirosis and, in some lakes, toxic algae: keep hands from the mouth, wash before eating, cover cuts, and stay off the water if the manager posts a health notice. Tides, run-off after rain and release flows change the water in minutes: read the tide table and the forecast, and stop at any rise. Plants go at the elevation the managing biologist marked for each species, since a plant set too low drowns and too high dries. Keep dogs and children out; do not touch nests or wildlife.
Orientation to the plan before the first plant: who to call, what to stop for (Title 8 section 3203).
A life jacket wherever a fall could reach deep water, a second person on firm ground, a check-in time (Title 8 section 1602).
Marsh and lake edges have no shade: water, rest breaks, watch each other (Title 8 section 3395).
Check the air quality index; at 151 or more the crew is told and offered respirators (Title 8 section 5141.1).
Needles and glass on park edges: tongs and a sharps container, never bare hands (Title 8 section 5193).
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.

How this work is done

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

Bring

a spade to dig each planting hole at that spacing
dibble or hand trowel
knee pads
life jacket
tide table
rubber boots and spare socks
hi-vis if the path meets a road

Steps

Coordinate with Los Angeles County Parks before starting the planting.
Walk to the zone this job's title names and photograph the bare, weed-choked pond-edge before starting.
Clear the weeds and loose debris from the zone by hand, working from the path or established bank edge.
Choose native sedge, rush and willow suited to a Southern California coastal-sage-adjacent reservoir and write out the plant list.
Decide the planting spacing for the zone.
Photograph the cleared area, then confirm the native plant list and the elevation marks against the ones the managing agency supplies, not by your own judgement.
Use a dibble or hand trowel from firm ground and set each native plug at the marked elevation. Ask the manager for irrigation and lighting lines in a park, and call 811 where a hole goes deeper than a plug.
Dig each planting hole by hand at that spacing and set each plant, working from the path or established bank edge.
Water in thoroughly from the manager's hose bib, never from the lake. Put no mulch at tidal sites; at a lake edge lay a thin layer clear of the stems.
Record the planting-density log for the zone, listing species and count placed.
Photograph the completed zone after planting and mark the GPS boundary of the planted area.

What counts as done

Before photo of the bare/weed-choked edge zone
Native sedge/rush/willow plant list suited to a Southern California coastal-sage-adjacent reservoir
Planting-density log matched to the zone
After photo of the planted zone + GPS boundary
The manager's written permission and contact.
The plant list and elevation marks the manager gave.
A dated planting log with the tide height or lake level.
The GPS boundary as a polygon the manager can map.
Sign-off: the project owner 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.
Count: plants set along the edge, by species, written next to the photos.
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.
Capture: write the area you worked in square feet and the drainage area or capture volume in gallons that the project owner's scope gives for this site, next to the photos.
Design basis: the feasibility study or design plan this site follows, named in the project owner's scope and written at the top of your proof.
After the first real rain, photograph the same two points and write what the water did: where it ponded, where it ran and what it carried.

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
