You can not claim donated services as a tax deduction in the US.

The theory is this: you'd have to book both a revenue for the work you
did and a deduction for the donation. These would cancel out.

That's true. However, you can deduct any expenses incurred in the course of
volunteer work, such as milage to and from the site, and so forth. Again, this
is in the US, YMMV elsewhere.
