Yes, the forest issue is about history. Also, he was in touch with the natural world: the plants and trees and little rivers. Certainly his generation was far more in touch with nature than mine. I don't know many names of trees or plants or birds; children spend less time outdoors than they did back in the day.
That, and the man spent how many decades on Middle Earth? Yup. Details! I love them all. :-)
