Keep the world beautiful
Challenge Yourself for: 30 days
Show your love for public parks, beaches and hiking trails: Call your local parks department to join a volunteer clean-up program. You’ll have an active day while meeting like-minded folks and helping the community. Bring friends or family to make the experience even more meaningful. Challenge yourself to get busy and make a world of difference.
(When logging progress for this challenge, only log as many days as you participated the activity within the 30-day timeframe.)

Local park departments are a good place to start. It seems that once you start looking, there are ample opportunities to get involved in clean ups or other community beautification projects. I recommend Tree People (treepeople.org) which is based in Los Angeles. You just have to show up to one of their scheduled planting events – they bring the training, the tools and the trees!
I’ve wanted to do something like this, but wasn’t aware of who to contact. I’m going to give my local parks department a call!
