"I know at least one person who hates going up into the hills precisely because of the lack of trees. She far prefers the leafy valleys."
She finds the lack of trees disturbing because she knows the menace to our safety that the deforestation of the Earth is causing. Just like you'd find the presence of trees threatening because of a perception of personal danger. Our "success" in controlling our environment is an illusion, and we will soon learn that we are not nature's master.
