I will burdain you all with a question that has lingered in my mind for a long time. What do you consider the meaning of natural. For example, if you consider a garden to be natural then rethink due to the fact that humans crafted that gardenin the first place. For me whenever i think of something natural i think of the sky because we cannot tamper with it but what do you consider to be "natural". Anything that is natural is that which is made from nature- but i am not sure what that is anymore. This is a topic for opinion so naturally, speak your mind no matter what you think. Thank you in advance ;)

If you ask google you get an answer which I can agree to...

1.
existing in or derived from nature; not made or caused by humankind.
having had a minimum of processing or preservative treatment.
2.
in accordance with the nature of, or circumstances surrounding, someone or something.

So.. Your garden can be very natural looking (It looks like not put together by a person) even though people put it together.

Then again. That is assuming you mean to say that humans are not part of nature. (Because otherwise one could say an ants nest is not natural from the ants perspective, as it was created by ants)

We as animals in my opinion are apart of nature but cities are they natural or did nature intend on the cities to be nature what we make- are the things that we make natural.

What about great areas that are now considered natural?The New Forest in the UK like other forests where trees wee grown to provide the wood for our great sailing ships. Or the Norfolk Broads and Somerset Levels where great areas are ancient peat workings In the landscape it would be hard to find anywhere that has not had the intervention of man so would that then apply to the trees within those sites?

The trees, i guess if they were tampered with then yes but if they were coppiced then they would be "unnatural" i think. But the geound there on would be unnatural because there are clean cut stumps all round the place. I am struggling to answer my own question as it is rather complicated. :lol:

Oh yeah. So in this case, what is nature, not as in charecter (e.g "is it in his nature to do this?") but as in earth, life etc.
