Why do people like visiting places with trees or forests?

I think people are drawn to forests because they offer a kind of calm that is hard to find in daily life. When you walk under trees, the light is softer, the air feels fresher, and there is less noise competing for your attention. For many people, it is not just about exercise or sightseeing; it is a chance to slow down mentally and feel a bit restored. As for whether natural views are better than city views, I would say it depends on the person and the situation. A skyline can be exciting, especially at night, and cities show human creativity and energy. But natural views usually have a deeper relaxing effect because they are less crowded and less artificial. Even people who love urban life often need occasional contact with nature, whether that means a forest, a park, a lake, or just a street lined with trees. I do think humans have some instinctive connection with nature, but I am not sure we are automatically hard-wired to protect the environment. We may feel attached to beautiful natural places, but protecting them often requires education, responsibility, and long-term thinking. In other words, people may naturally enjoy forests, but they still need to learn how their choices affect them.
