You could buy a couple of acres of land and turn it into a forest preserve. And then don't let anyone buy it to build or cut down trees / etc.
Depending on how much you care, you could even plant a sustainable forest and grow hardwood as an investment.
You need to be careful with this. Depending on your location, there might be laws imposing that you use the land, otherwise you might lose it. I don't know the exact conditions, and I suppose they vary.
Also, 10000 USD doesn't buy you a lot of land, depending on location.
Where I live, that could buy a parking space.
In the nearest metro region (about 3 hrs away), ten times that amount might buy a parking space. A very sketchy parking space, at that.
Land prices in British Columbia - even way out in the boonies - is totally f**ked.
