You guys ever read this? I just read it on a camping trip and had a fantastic time.

Some of the language is a little dated, and some of the chapters are a little dry, but there's some good stuff in there. Really captures the sense of spiritual significance that nature has.

Anyone on this board read this, or know about anything similar to it?

You might like Emerson's essay on Nature as well

Bumping for more recommendations too, I would especially like to read some romantic era nature poetry

I've been meaning to read this and you just reminded me, thank you Anon. I think you might want to check out Knut Hamsum's Growth of the Soil and Trygve Gulbranssen's Beyond Sing the Woods

Ended up falling down a rabbit hole with this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographical_poetry
as a result of this thread
