Am anti hunting,  anti clear cutting and and forcest destruction and animal habitat clearing.

They can be super helpful and a lot of them are aimed at beginners.Volunteer Your Time: Organizations like Habitat for Humanity are awesome for getting hands-on experience.

I volunteer with the local Habitat for Humanity, Humane Society, and aim to help where I can. 

Volunteer with habitat for humanity they teach you how to fix up houses, its how I learned!

I expect the project will be a bit cheaper than the quote because I've been sourcing materials myself which were included in the quote and was able to buy new hardwood flooring on fb marketplace as well as buying nice hardwood cabinets from Habitat Restore that will be refinished instead of buying new plus a few other fun thrifted finds to keep costs down!

but maybe it will be like Habitat for Humans  although when you look at their projects houses biult as cheap as code will allow.. so to me I guess if you put them in dead and dying areas to spruce them up that could be an improvement

Look at places like Habitat for Humanity Restore.

A 30% above the cost of non-renewable energy was, at that time, considered marketable, more than that and they did not generally build after permitting.BTW, on government land leases there are requirements to mitigate impacts, so replacement land is required if the land used is habitat for certain species. 

Then I donate the toilet to the local Habitat for Humanity Restore for a tax credit.  

I think this it the key and what little I know about Habitat for Humanity, they have the right idea.
