I have lived in areas with a lot of nature most of my life and have spent many weeks each summer at cabins in the Adirondaks and the Finger Lakes.  Though there is not one moment that stands out just being surrounded by the lake and forest is very peaceful and helps me to re-evaluate what is important. Living in a city is difficult because there is not the calmness of the natural world and I get restless living here. There is a magical quality to nature, especially at dawn, when there is a suspended state as everything wakes up, and sunset, when everything goes to sleep. Those are my favorite times of the day because they have a different feel to them, and the hectic pace of life slows down in those moments.

Nature is worth saving because we our imagination is caught by the mystery of the natural world. What science cannot explain we use story and other means of expressing our thoughts to work out explanations.  This has led to the development of much of our culture and if we give that up, we may only have technology to fall back on, which will be a loss to us.
