A dose of fresh air and some time enjoying nature is basically the best way to spend a fall afternoon. And while hauling trash my not be tops on your to-do list, Mother Nature is totally in need of your helping hands. Last year, volunteers removed 900,000 lbs. of trash on that day alone. Whoa. Trust me, after a day of rolling old tires outta the woods with  your buds and clearing overgrown trails, you’ll be flat-out exhausted.
 
The Public Lands Day Project site has a ton of options to get involved all over the country. Check it out and get involved this weekend. No sites in your area? Go DIY and clean up a nearby park. Don’t forget to bring a friend, gloves and trash bags.
