Wish i was living in such an interesting place. I mean, we also have a bit nature in my area, but there are barely any interesting animals. The only interesting animals we have, are the dragonfly swarms that we see in late summer and i hate them.
My town is weird. It's got a more mini city like feel in the center and very natury edges. The side I live on has big houses with natury paths and marshes where nature can be heard sometimes and the other side has farms.
