* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'': One of Henry's favorite places on Sodor is a forest along the main line.

* Yamame of ''Manga/The100GirlfriendsWhoReallyReallyReallyReallyReallyLoveYou'' takes this UpToEleven - not only does she care about plants and animals, she cares about ''weeds''.

* Amadahy Love in ''Dying Embers'' by Creator/BettyAdams. She is actually an ecologist by trade. Her brothers [=Drake McCarty=] and Donnigan [=McCarty=] are both nature lovers as well and their cousin Em is a rabid environmentalist (or rather thinks he is).
* Freckles in Creator/GeneStrattonPorter's ''Literature/{{Freckles}}'' once he gets over his fear of the swamp, comes to love it and insist on learning.

* Dan in Creator/LouisaMayAlcott's ''[[Literature/LittleWomen Little Men]]'' shows a love of wilderness despite his rough manner.
* Cassie in ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' was always the animal person and nature saver, what with her parents being vets running a wildlife rescue service. She has to remind her friends that she doesn't go as far as an AnimalWrongsGroup when they're stranded in the Arctic and debating eating a seal that was recently killed by a polar bear.

* In Creator/PoulAnderson's "The Pirate", Trevelyn finds the alien ruins a bit odd, because they had no gardens or parks, even though they obviously loved and had a care for landscapes, and used floral motifs extensively. He reminds himself that they were, after all, aliens.
* Creator/HenryDavidThoreau's ''Walden''

* ''Literature/{{Heidi}}'': The title character actually becomes literally homesick to the point of sleepwalking while living in the city.
* In Creator/DevonMonk's ''Literature/MagicWithoutMercy'', Allie quips about the "great outdoors" when they have to hike somewhere.
* [[TroubledButCute Rafael]] from ''Literature/GivesLight'', who lives on an Indian reservation. He loves nature to such a degree that he knows everything there is to know about the wildlife and hates being indoors for too long (even in his own house).
* In ''Literature/TheChangeover'', it's implied that all witches have a closer relationship with nature. As a child, it was one of the things that set Sorry apart from his foster parents, and later on was an excuse for the abuse he suffered.

* In Creator/CSLewis's ''Literature/TheFourLoves'', he analyzes it as part of treating subhuman affection before human.
* Both Ivy Carson and Martha Abbott rescue animals throughout Zilpha Keatley Snyder's ''The Changeling''. When they think there's a [[StockNessMonster Loch Ness Monster]] in the swamp, they take to hiding in the reeds with a camera. Ivy ''is'' this trope; she is an EarthyBarefootCharacter, almost a FriendToAllLivingThings, [[CountryMouse at peace only in forests and rural settings]]; one of Snyder's most jarring [[EsotericHappyEnding Esoteric Happy Endings]] comes when we learn that Ivy has gone to study ballet in ''New York City''.
* In Creator/RobinMcKinley's ''Literature/{{Sunshine}}'', Constantine's stated reason for living near New Arcadia was the natural beauty about it.
* In Creator/AndreNorton's ''Literature/{{Catseye|1961}}'', the Rangers. They carefully cultivate Tikil as a luxury port for the rich because it helps them protect the wild.
* Shallan Davar in ''Literature/TheStormlightArchive'' loves to get out of the house and sketch animals, and seems to be the first person to notice the principle of symbiosis (or at least she'd never heard of the concept before, though the repeated extinction of 90+% of humanity has resulted in a certain loss of knowledge).
* ''Literature/{{Swindle}}:'' After working in a coal mine for decades, Eli Mulrooney loves to sit outside and take in the sky and fresh air, only going back inside for long enough to sleep, use the bathroom, or microwave meals.

* Oliver Wendell Douglas from ''Series/GreenAcres''. Before moving to the country, he tried growing crops in his New York apartment.
* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': In Season 7, Castiel absorbs all Sam's memories from Hell and has a nervous breakdown. He emerges from his catatonia as a CloudCuckoolander obsessed with nature and evolution, especially bees. This annoys his allies, especially Dean, who need him for the fight against the Leviathans.
* Arushka from ''Series/{{Thunderstone}}'' loves nature as a whole and adores animals, to the point of obsession. The rest of her group seem to believe that she cares about animals more than them, and they might be right. The fact that she lives in a barren wasteland that was utterly void of any animal life until Noah brought it to her hasn�t stopped her in the slightest. Once she does get to see real animals, she instantly shows an almost supernatural ability to understand and calm them. In fact, one of her first displays of this was to calm an enraged circus lion.

* In ''ComicStrip/{{Frazz}}'', Frazz loves his running and biking in the great outdoors, and deplores the kids who stay inside all the time.

* ''VideoGame/SuikodenII'' has [[CountryMouse Kinnison]] and [[BraidsBeadsAndBuckskins Ayda]], a pair of archers who [[NatureHero defend their native woodlands.]] The former inhabits the forest surrounding Ryukei Village, while the latter hails from the Forest Village. Needless to say, they have [[FriendToAllLivingThings strong ties to nature]].

* ''VideoGame/ShiningResonance'': According to Lestin, he and the other elves of Wellant share a natural inclination to preserve nature, each in their own way. He explains that it's likely the reason that Rinna gathers flower seeds and runs a flower shop. Whereas he keeps track of rare butterfly species to help preserve their numbers.

* Nature loving is the [[MechanicalLifeform Automaton's]] [[PlanetOfHats hat]] in ''VideoGame/EndlessSpace''; originally built as simple [[ClockworkCreature clockwork robots]] by a dying race to restore their {{polluted w|asteland}}orld [[FlingALightIntoTheFuture after their death]], when the Automatons were enhanced by contact with [[ImportedAlienPhlebotinum Dust]], they used their enhanced intelligence to restore the planet. Automatons reside on flying cities to lessen their impact on the planets ecosystem.
* In ''VideoGame/PokemonMasters'', [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Ethan]] is described this way.
* Amber Rose, driver of Flower Power, from the third game of the ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'' series. Her goal, in the Twisted Metal tournament, is to have the world covered in flowers.

* Interest in nature appears to be a good sign in ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}''. In particular, [[http://www.sinfest.net/view.php?date=2000-08-01 Pooch loves the outdoors -- sights, smells, etc. -- he has everything!]]

* Norway in ''Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld''.
* In ''Webcomic/{{Freefall}}'', [[http://freefall.purrsia.com/ff1300/fv01213.htm Sam enjoys the limited subset of nature that terraforming's brought about -- and then subverts it with the reveal that he can't stomach any more of it.]]

* Nat Smurf in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' was this type of character, both as an adult and as a Smurfling.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine'': One of Henry's favorite places on Sodor is a forest along the main line.

* Flora, the fairy of nature from ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub''. She can literally hear and speak to nature. [[note]] One episode suggests all fairies can learn this, but it's [[IncrediblyLamePun natural]] the fairy who uses the element is who does it most.[[/note]]

* Nat Smurf in ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs'' was this type of character, both as an adult and as a Smurfling.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'': Kaeloo absolutely loves nature, especially plants. The easiest way to piss her off is to [[BerserkButton crush a flower]].

* ''WesternAnimation/ThomasTheTankEngine'': One of Henry's favorite places on Sodor is a forest along the main line. Most notably, in "Henry's Forest," Henry is devastated when the forest is ravaged during a storm. Thomas and Toby take pity on him, and they convince The Fat Controller to hello replant them.

They may be [[GhibliHills a forest dweller]] themselves, or live in [[{{Arcadia}} the countryside]] where they commune with nature. It's also a safe bet that they'll either have a close bond with the local fauna, or at least have extensive knowledge of them. In their view, TheWorldIsJustAwesome so they want to spend as much time with it as possible and share it with others. Whereas ones who live in the city may often spend time at the park, or just WatchingTheSunset.

Characters of this nature are also fond of outdoor activities such as, nature walks and camping, though they may be equally content with tending a flower garden. Hunting is also possible, though not as likely, given their respect for nature. They'll only hunt [[InHarmonyWithNature what they need]], never for sport, unless they're a GreatWhiteHunter. Compare with the OutdoorsyGal. They'll often be the [[OnlyOneFindsItFun only one]] to not [[HorribleCampingTrip dislike a camping trip]].

Their PatrongGod is usually a NatureSpirit or FertilityGod.

* [[BewareTheNiceOnes Finland]] of ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia'' is one of these, as a startled [[IJustWantToBeNormal Iceland]] finds out when going on a camping trip with him. His ''World☆Stars'' character profile mentions that he "sometimes hides in his forests to daydream, study, or get covered in grass."

--> '''Colonel''': It feels as though humans and nature are reconciled together.

-->''The poetry of the earth is never dead. ''

-->There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
-->There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
-->There is society, where none intrudes,
-->By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
-->I love not man the less, but Nature more.

-->What would the world be, once bereft
-->Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
-->O let them be left, wildness and wet;
-->Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
