If you want to get your hands dirty - speak to the staff in your favorite natural area about volunteering to remove invasive plants - this work is almost always done by volunteers. If you have any property, make your yard into a wildlife refuge by planting native plants, adding a water feature, and leaving out brush piles so critters have shelter. Audobon at Home offers a free consultation, or you can hire a conservation or restoration landscape designer. Composting and planting legumes can help return nutrients to the soil. If you want to do advocacy, you can join a local environmental organization like the Sierra Club that lobbies for more land to be protected.
