natural cover
Nature's hiding spots
Natural cover refers to vegetation, terrain features, or environmental elements that provide concealment or protection.
In military and hunting contexts, it means using existing landscape—trees, brush, rocks, tall grass—rather than man-made structures: The patrol moved from natural cover to natural cover.
Wildlife managers use the term for habitat that shelters animals from predators and weather.
