It depends on where in Maine you are but if you live in the woods clean up around your land dead trees branches ect farmer open fields pick up any stray trash ,plant ( legal and if possible native plants) plants that brings new and good life to the soil that won't over run everything city donate time to shelters or a dollar to charity .pick up a stray piece of paper heck even help an old lady across the street. Okay that last 1 can be a bit of a joke but still it's a verity of little things that you can do as you go about your daily life on walks or just sitting on your bum like I am don't let life get you down

No offense meant here, but I think dead wood is an important habitat for animals and insects, and it's sequestering carbon. But definitely get rid of invasives.
