Wilson.LogicalThey have a special awareness of nature. They instinctively recognize, understand and appreciate the patterns and relationships they see in nature. They have the ability to pick out details about birds, animals, stones, clouds, trees and plants, that others never see. They understand animals, how the weather works, and can cultivate beautiful gardens. This kind of intelligence is highly developed in people who depend on nature for their survival. But it is becoming more valued today, now that we are becoming increasingly sensitive to the needs of the natural environment around us.
