Nature is enjoyable for me because it's in many ways the spiritual opposite to civilization.
Why do city planners make room for greenspace? Because people don't enjoy looking at urban sprawl.

For these reasons, and others, people seek refuge and peace of mind in nature.
I understand that true wilderness is increasingly lacking, that doesn't mean an effort shouldn't be made to maintain the wild of what we have left.
Even as trail markers I detest cairns. If you don't know where you are, you have no business being there in the first place.
We're guests in nature, why we feel the need to fag up everything good and somewhat pure in this world is baffling to me.
The only thing you should leave are footprints.
