Establish a native shade hedgerow along an open water edge.

Plant a row of regionally native shrubs set back from a public open water edge near Los Angeles. An open water edge left bare of shade loses water to evaporation, which is partly why Turlock's Project Nexus put solar canopies over irrigation canals, and a living hedgerow does the same thing at a smaller scale for the price of plants. On a district canal bank, a pond margin or a reservoir shore, with the owning district's or authority's written permission and an honored 811 locate, plant shrubs and small trees at the spacing the agency allows, staked and mulched, with a first year watering plan and a named steward. Where the place has no open conveyance, the same row goes on the public pond or reservoir edge it does have, and the packet says which. For the payer: - Price: $330 per job, counted in shrubs set along the water edge, by species. - Likely payer: A grant-funded nonprofit crew (LA Conservation Corps, LANI, Clean California or CAL FIRE grants), or the site's host.

Offer to pay $330. The receipt lands onchain once the proof is approved.

$330 proposed

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

written permission from the owning district + 811 ticket + GPS line with setback from the water line + before, after photos + species list with counts + first year watering plan with a named steward

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

The creator wallet. Its signature is what approves proof and settles the wage.

Start after the crew's safety orientation. Nothing potable is touched: open no pipe, turn no fitting and add no chemical. Work public ground with the district's written permission and no license asked, hand tools and an honored 811 locate, never enter the channel and never work during high flow; wear waterproof non-slip boots and cut-resistant waterproof gloves; the employer provides drinking water, shade and cool-down rests, and N95 masks when wildfire smoke puts the AQI at 151 or more.

The full safety list for this job:

• This program does not test drinking water; any drinking water question routes to a certified laboratory and the local health department.
• No digging deeper than 12 inches.
• Never on the water side of the maintenance road.
• No herbicide.
• 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.

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.
