Was Tolkien a naturalist?

I know this has been mentioned in various threads (I can't find any right now, but there are alot), but I want to pull them all together here.

SO what do you think?
Was he against ctting down the trees and industrialisation (like in the Scouring Of The Shire and the Ents's attack on Isengard, and various other ideas)
