I do volunteer trail maintenance on the Pacific Crest Trail with the PCTA. It's a great way to get outside and do some physical labor for those of us who sit in a cube 40+ hours per week. You also get to see and camp in some of the most beautiful parts of the country and work with a whole host of other volunteers who have been extremely pleasant to the last in my experience.
Bonus: For those who want to be very involved, you can get First Aid/CPR, chainsaw or crosscut sawyer, crew leader training/certification for 'free'. So long as you pay it back by utilizing those skills on work parties. Some groups also run a trail steward program where you can 'adopt' a section of the trail to maintain over time.
