nature lovers
Wilderness appreciation society
Nature lovers are people who enjoy spending time outdoors and appreciate the natural world—hiking, birdwatching, camping, or simply preferring green spaces to urban environments.
The term is straightforward and affectionate: The trail was crowded with nature lovers on the first warm day of spring.
