It's no secret that J.R.R. Tolkien had an unabashed love for nature. From the golden trees in Lothlórien to the rolling hills of the Shire, Tolkien injects his appreciation for the beauty of nature throughout Middle-earth. It's no surprise that the heroes of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are Hobbits, a race of creatures that live in harmony with nature and give back to the earth as much as they take.
