I feel at home in the temperate woodland/forest,it feels more natural as a
habitat to me.

I feel at home anywhere with trees, I love the forest.
Worked in open moorlands and felt very uncomfortabe and losted.
Some poeple dont like being far from the sea with it is the same for trees.
When out on some of the Scottish Islands, very beautiful but was uneasy as no trees could not wait to get back to my forest.
Boreal woods and alpine mountains.

woodlands and rolling fields for me. The quintessential English countryside. I love the ruggedness of the Scottish mountains and the Cornish coast, but the wolds always call me home.

Woods with a river running through with healthy water and fish.
deserts definatly, I enjoy the jungle but I feel at home in the desert, I suppose it because its where I grew up.
the word desert is more wide ranging than people realise, the arctic is a desert for example, so I suppose I should be more difinitive, I like rolling dunes and gravel deserts of the type found in the middle east I am esspecially fond of wadis.

I once asked my grandfather if he'd ever been lost in the woods. He gave me a perplexed look and said, "The woods are my home. How can you be lost when you're home?"
I'm with him. Feel most at home in the woods.

In all honsesty, any countryside location. I love the forests, shoreline and mountains equally, but I suppose I'm happiest near water features of any kind. Don't know why, but i always choose my walks near water of any sort.

Boreal, coniferous forests lacking snow.

I havn't been everywhere (yet) but the coast seems to make me the most comforable or a tempuarte forest. Both are not extreme in either way so its easy enough place to learn copmared to the tundra or desert ( i hope :p )

I love the northern woods, snow and cold.
I would never go to the djungle or places where it is too hot.
I cant stand heat, I much prefer the cold woods and fix myself a fire and a hot drink.
cheers

I like all natural habitats except hot wet ones.
A rainforrest would be purgatory for me. :(
Everywhere else I'm as happy as a pig in an oak wood. :D

I guess you could say that I'm at home in Nature, without being specific to the eco system I happen to be standing in at the time. However, if I have to narrow it down to a specific type of surroundings, the biodiversity of California draws me like a magnet and the coast, mountains, pine and hardwood forests, grasslands and Redwoods of our area here are my home.

The foothills of mountains, or just mountains in general. Really want to wander the Urals, they really look like my kind of thing - they are only tiny (biggest is 1835m I think), but being on the edge of European Russia, are totally empty... backpacking/bushcrafting heaven :cool:
They also get very very cold in places, which is definitely my idea of a good time :D

Within 45 minutes (driving tho sadly), I can be out on the rugged windswept coastline, walking one of several broad river estuaries, or along the edge of ria's, out paddling on the River, walking in woodland, either on the high [it's a relative term!] ridges of pine, or in the deep rich broadleaf filled valleys, and if that wasn't enough - I also have Dartmoor. Within 5 minutes I can be out walking in the lanes, fields and woodlands around me, so I'd say I was pretty happy right here, thanks.
:D
I am most happy when in mixed broadleaf woodland and moor land environment but then i come from Exmoor so that would explain a lot but I am happy in any wilderness environment.
I now live in a city and i hate it with a passion i am like a caged animal.
