    Eh, there’s a lot of this in Ohio for sure, but as someone who lives here I think people forget how much nature there is too. I’ve worked in several environmental conservation jobs and there’s a lot of truly beautiful places here.

    Examples:

    Mohican State Park

    Gorman Nature Center

    Strouds Run State Park

    Hocking Hills State Park

    Miami University Natural Areas

      Even New Jersey has nature though. What people want are sustainable and walkable urban landscapes to live in, with protected natural landscapes nearby to visit. Being mostly empty space spotted with strip malls is not pleasant.

      Imagine having to drive to an enclosed area where people specifically protect nature to experience nature…

        LOL fair, just doing my part to raise awareness! You’d be shocked how many people live right next to places like this and don’t even know they exist
