The outdoors around
Natural surroundings refers to the physical environment in its unaltered or minimally altered state—the landscape, vegetation, wildlife, and atmospheric conditions that exist independent of human construction.
The phrase emphasizes what occurs organically rather than what has been built or manufactured.
