Nature is everything that isn't created by people. In other words, before anything was invented, everything was nature. Even artificial things can be traced back to a natural source.
So nature is pretty darn important. Perhaps this is why a lot of people find nature beautiful and fascinating, and want to look at it or "get in touch" with it, via things like camping, hiking, and bird watching.

Perhaps they are forced into a situation where they have to go to the countryside or somewhere else that's full of nature, due to a Camping Episode or something, or maybe they turn down an invitation to a hiking party because "who wants to look at boring old plants?" or something along those lines.
Maybe a Horrible Camping Trip is only horrible from a character who believes Nature Is Boring's point of view. Likewise, characters with this belief will find all nature-related museums to be a Museum of Boredom and will zone out when hearing someone talk about nature.
Often comes with An Aesop about appreciating nature, and can go hand in hand with New Media Are Evil if a character who believes that Nature Is Boring prefers artificial stuff like TV and video games.

In The Simpsons episode “Bart of Darkness”, Bart is given a telescope to entertain himself while recovering from a broken leg. After looking at the stars with it, and despite seeing some amazing-looking things (including Kang and Kodos), Bart decides that the universe is boring and turns the telescope to “Springfield’s seamy underbelly” instead.

Bertie from Dirty Bertie generally has this perspective, as evidenced in "Twitter!" when he goes bird watching with his friend Eugene and Eugene's dad and gets impatient waiting for the birds, which he is disinterested in except for the hawk, and in another story where he is unenthusiastic about a trip to the country.

In the Neopets Neopian Times article Jhudora Reviews Illusen's Glade Rewards, Jhudora the snarky dark faerie disses Illusen the Nature Lover Earth faerie's prizes as being made of "plain old leaves, twigs and flowers".

Arthur: In "Water and the Brain", Binky seems disinterested in marine biology.
